I should ask about it next time I'm at Imperial Oil and see what they say to me.

I read the thread. Have you read the relevant API or ACEA sequences? I have. It may be marketed towards one or two newer products and have those approvals, but its specifications indicate it is most suited for older vehicles. It is also best suited in places where there is no ULSD. Obviously, it's not just marketed for the vehicle in question, since it doesn't have only one builder approval.
The average new heavy truck here will call for a CJ-4 oil with additional builder approvals. This product would be almost useless in North America except for those with legacy equipment. Most of the builder approvals are fairly dated. Contrast the builder approval and ACEA approval list on the oil in this thread to Mobil's flagship HDEO:
CJ-4/SM; ACEA E7 and E9; Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2; Cummins CES 20081; Twin Disc S364A; Detroit Diesel Power Guard Oil Specification 93K218, 93K214; Deutz DQC III-10 LA; Mack EO-O Premium Plus, EO-N Premium Plus 03; MAN M 3277; MB-Approval 228.31, 235.27; MTU Oil Category 2.1; and Volvo VDS-4, VDS-3.
In my buddy's old 12 valve Cummins, I'd have no issue using the Urania 5w-30. In a brand new Cummins, it wouldn't meet the specifications. Imperial Oil (Mobil/Esso) used to market an oil here with similar specifications in 5w-30 a number of years ago. They do not, as a rule, market any HDEOs that are earlier than CJ-4, except for certain two stroke applications. Up here, they yanked everything older off the market when the CJ-4 rollout occurred years back.
High SA dual rated HDEOs are almost non-existent here now.
