The engine dying isn't the issue. Using incorrect oil results in clogging of the DPF, which costs a thousand or two to replace.
It's incredibly rare for modern engines to die due to oil issues (obviously not leaks or obvious abuse). Any oil that meets manufacturers spec is perfectly fine and you can expect the engine to last longer than the rig.
