After changing from 0/40 in the winter to 15/40 in the summer Now I use 5w/40 T6 oil year round in the tractor and the 12 valve. Check out the temp ranges recommended by Shell. Fast start up oil pressure [though not immediate like 0/40] even at -30c [-20F] and rated for use up to 48c [120F] IMO no other oil is neededIn my truck with Cummins diesel, I used to have to plug in the block heater overnight when temps fall below 10 degrees. After switching to Rotella T6 synthetic oil, I haven’t yet had to use the block heater to start the truck.
