Your SDP appeared to run hotter oil temps because the Accert Cats never used an oil temp sensor. The ecm calculated the temp using coolant/oil pressure. When it saw the coolant up to temp and the oil pressure down it calculated a higher oil temp based on 15w40 viscosity. 5w30 is way thin for a diesel even in the cold you guys get. IMO.

Good info, thank you!
