Sounds like Duke knows his way around oil. For myself I like to stick with what is recommended by the mfgr. Looking at flow charts sounds daunting to me.

Was that a full syn?

Not syn at all.

M117 and m112 are completely different animals. 15w40 is recommended factory oil for the m112 in some models.
