shell rotella diesel oil

I was thinking of using shell rotella oil for diesel motors. I friend said this would be a very bad idea. I thought the issue was this oil will ruin a catalyt converter but other wise was fine. Will I be OK with using Shell Rotella?

VIN is 1e12281. My Uncle purchased new in 1966 so it should not be modified. I could be wrong about what I am looking at. Behind the front tire is an oval pin and in front of the rear wheel is a threaded stud. I will have to look for the correct jack point in the middle. Looks like I have to find so...

The car has been repainted once as has the interior. In 2006 the Jag had many mechanical repairs. The Ja...
