All the same.

Use the Y8 gasket. It's a little thinner so will bump your compression/power up a tiny bit.

Take care of it and any D should get to 250,000-300,000 IMO.

Service regularly, don't overheat it, warm it up properly (drive gently, not idling all the time), good petrol, fresh filters etc.
