Yeah it will be ok, just keep topping up with diesel, do about 20 miles then put more diesel in, and add a little but of engine oil just to keep the fuel system lubricated. only something like 500 ml

Try not to make a habit of it though. If you'd put in much more you'd very likely have wrecked the high pressure pump and the injectors. Rather than engine oil I'd suggets adding two stroke oil.

It will work just the same as 2 stroke, any mineral oil be it engine oil or 2 stroke is good, veg oil is ok as well just a small quantity though, 500 ml

Forgot about that one. Litre of veg oil from Lidl will help no end.
