I've been using "diesel" oils, primarily Mobil 1 4W-40 Turbo Diesel Truck with a fair amount of Rotella T 5W-40, for nearly all of my 2003 Aero's 204k miles. Original turbo, catalytic converter, etc. No engine issues whatsoever except for a couple of oil leaks that didn't require much work to address. I believe that whatever potential downsides there are to using diesel rated oil in a gas engine are mostly theoretical.
