Mobile 1 5w40 turbo diesel oil for boxster?!

Hello everyone, I have a 2006 Boxster base model with 95k miles. I am about to do an oil change, . I live in Chicago, I read the manual and also called the local Porsche dealer I was told to use 5w40 Mobile 1, but when I tried to buy it the only one I found is was the
Mobil 1 5w40 turbo diesel. My question is can I use this oil for my boxster or should I use the Mobil 1 0w40?
