I thought that the quietness of the engine is because of the change of combustion characteristics and not the lubricating properties? I agree that it has better lubricating properties than D2. Whether it is significant when it comes to longer life is not proven. IOW, nobody knows what the graph of lubricity vs wear looks like. What is the point of diminishing returns? Again nobody knows.
