There is no need to use an HM oil unless the engine leaks oil and the repair is not an economic one, or the oil consumption starts to increase (Check the CCV is working first).

Most high mileage oils are no good for diesels with a DPF, so you might want to consider just moving up one grade and using half a can of Liqui Moly Motor Oil Saver to swell the seals back into action.
