Heavy Duty diesel oils are seldom tested against gasoline engine specs. API "spark" ratings are kind of easy to meet during the diesel test procedure, especially for heavier oils. For lighter oil (XW30 and lower viscosities) API reverts to ILSAC for many of the requirements, including low phosphorous chemistry.
As I said, it is widely used for T-7 Saabs. My belief is that viscosity is right for the higher oil temperatures where these cars run, and the character of diesel oil designed to keep the carbon bits resulting from diesel combustion from agglomerating just might help prevent the "coffee grounds sludge" that T-7 Saabs can fall prey to.
