Rottella 0w40

I recently purchased 16 liters of Rottella SB synthetic 0w40 oil to run in my 2000 Superduty 7.3 powerstroke deisel truck. I did this because the truck sometimes sits for a week or so in minus 40 temperatures without access to a plug in for my blockheater. My concern is that upon reading the label this oil is rated CG-4 CF/SJ or Allison C-4. Is a CG4 rating what I need? It seems that CH-4 or CI-4 is what I am reading is required. If anyone can tell me the differance in these ratings it would be greatly appreciated..... THANKX

Read your owners manual. I'd be surprised if your truck doesn't requre CH-4 or better.
