Smile Cold weather oil

This is for the guys up north. What oil do you run in winter with cold temps say 10F and below? Book shows 10w30 but all that I can find locally is the 15w40. Any problems getting started with heavier oil? This is my first winter with my 2000 PSD so I dont know what to expect. Will be plugging it in when possible but go up north to snowmobile.


Lots of good info on this site. Thanks.

I live in NePA, I run Rotella T 15-40, I never had a problem. When the temp goes below 20 I plug it in if I know the truck will be sitting more than 24hours.
