Kinda putting the cart before the horse, if you ask me. Any diesel grade oil, motorcycle oil or any oil marked 'Racing' does not have these limits applied to them.
Diesel grade oils tend to have more detergent additives in them, plus more acid neutralizers such as boron, calcium and magnesium to cope with the demads in such engines.

So you are saying that the diesel oil would provide a longer life for the engine overall, than say if I ran Mobil 1 the life of the engine?
