Do you have the specs for this oil? Is is diesel rated? Many run the Rotella 5w-40 Synthetic and love it. I use it myself, though it doesn't get that cold down here. Upper 20's-low 30's.

I would like to try Schaeffers but the local distributor has not been very helpful, and it's too expensive to order from the states.
The switch from dino oil to synthetic was like night and day for me when the weather turns cold.
