I also use rotella sae 30. If the only difference is cold weather I might use it through the summer. It was either sae 30 or 15-40 at advanced autoparts for diesel rated oil. And I looked at ALL of them.

The operator's manual for my M7040HD lists either 10W-30 or 15W-40. I buy Chevron Delo 400LE 15W-40 at Wally World for $10.50 a gallon (the M7040 takes 11.6 quarts per change). The following is a quote from Fleet Equipment Newsletter:
Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 is the first Delo product to meet the JASO DH-2 engine oil specification. Delo 400 already meets or exceeds all major API, ACEA and diesel engine manufacturer痴 requirements, including: API Service Categories CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, CF, SM, SL; Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2; Cummins CES 20081; Detroit Diesel Corp. Power Guard Oil Specification 93K218; Mack EO-O Premium Plus 07; Mercedes Benz MB-Approval 228.31; MTU Category 2.1; and Volvo VDS-4.

Simplify your life.
I run Shell Rotella Synthetic 5W-40 in my Chev 2500 HD diesel, Kubota BX 24, BMW R1150 RT, Yamaha FJR1300, JD 265, Honda 50 and 15 HP outboards, Chev Suburban, Ariens snowblower, Honda Rubicon 500 ATV, Honda 6500 Generator, and Craftsman 22" lawnmower. Never had a problem and never will.
Now go pleasure the Mrs. and forget about this issue for the rest of your life.
P.S. You may want to keep a small jar under the bed like I do.
