any Diesel oil that meets Ford specification WSS-M2C171-F1, which requires zinc and phosphorus levels above 1000ppm. many newer oils have less, even JASO requires less than 1000ppm.
engine was designed pre-'88 and first built in '87 requiring SE or SF oil. SF-SL 1000 - 1400 zinc
SC-SE 1000 - 1200 zinc

see article Two-wheelers love oil too!
JASO spec'd motorcycle oil are basically the same specs as heavy-duty diesel oil standards.
JASO does not test oils, manufactures pay a fee to JASO and state their oil meets the specs.
see article, another grade for the heavy-duty upgrade?
