I contacted Penrite and they recommended it to me once they knew I didn't have a DPF.

Engine Oil Viscosity (2.8L Diesel Engines)
For vehicles equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), 5W–30 ESP fully synthetic, low ash oil that meets DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-11106 must be used.
For vehicles not equipped with a DPF, 0W-40 ESP fully synthetic oil that meets DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-10725 may be used.
I got the above from an online service manual.
For non DPF I can only find Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 that complies to MS-10725.
Wonder if anyone was using that oil and had a bearing go?
