I've heard before that diesel oil can be good for petrol car because of the cleaning detergents and additives in the diesel oil.
Anyone knows more anything about it?

When you dump out your oil put in 3L of deisel and turn the car on "do not reve the car just let it run"
Then dump it out after say 5 mins. Change out filter then add new oil.
BUT the big thing if you have any oil leeks they will show up after you do this.
