UTTO is not an appropriate oil in any diesel imo. Lacks the detergency and TBN a "proper" CI oil should have.

 

URSA SHPD 15W40 is a good mineral, if you want to go upmarket, skip pointless semi and go full PAO synthetic. POE synthetic is overkill unless you're planning on an arizona trek or persistently towing and gunning the thing.

 

Ignore claims of higher mpg or start-up lubrication from thinner grades; stick with 15W40.

SHPD 15w/40 engine oil. API CI-4 classification will be more than adequate in a range of diesel engines. I wouldn't use the UTO. Vehicle manufacturers are now starting to move away from universal oils. Modern large off road machines tend to use a high grade 15w/40 and a stand alone UTTO for the transmission and hydraulics.
