I run the same year round--RotellaT 15-40. In Mississippi, temperatures rarely get to as low as your warmer winter days.

Chevron Delo 400 15-40 year round
If I was in Calgary I would probably switch to Delo Synth 5-40 for the winter. __________________ 93 1HD-T powered FZJ80-Extreme valve body-Walbro-ARB- Snork-OME- SOLD! 97 FZJ80 Antique Sage 40th, bone stock. 1HD-FT 5spd conversion starting soon VW A4 Jetta TDI My other diesel is a Locomotive www.gscruiserparts.com |

I run Esso XD-3 0W40 Synthetic in my HJ61. It's great in winter but also great all year around. I just took my truck on a 5000 km trip through the US (including the Nevada desert) and the oil held up very well.

0-30 or 0-40. Ran it last winter and seemed to work well, started alot easier that's for sure. Think i'll be changing to synthetics for the t-case/tranny and maybe difs also.
Cheers |

I recently switched from Mobil 1 synthetic diesel oil to straight old Rotella 15-40. I notice now in the mornings that my oil light takes longer to go out on start-up. I suppose this is due to the increased viscosity?

Esso XD 0/40 Synth is my preference in my 13BT's for the winter. 10,000km drain interval, with a new filter spun on at 5000kms.
Summer is either Esso XD 0/40 or Amsoil 15/40 for 10,000kms. At the end of the day........ Some oil is better then none! gb |
