[s-cars] Who knows oil?

So, to get to the point.. at last oil change, my highly qualified .de
mechanic used pennzoil euro 5-40 oil.
It seemed to run so well I thought I'd use it again next time.  Pressed for
time with impending road trip, my flaps only had
mobil 1  5-40 for turbo diesels.  What the heck I think, nice label and
$6/qt so how bad could it be?
Near as I can find out, the turbodiesel formula mostly differs in more
additives and more zinc, which could over time foul the kitty and possibly
O2 sensor.
Since I currently have a test pipe I am not too concerned.
Anyone know the ins and outs of motion lotion?
