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'm not familiar with that particular oil, however, I live in Kitchener and run 5w-40 Valvoline synthetic all year round. It has worked well for me, but I am going to change to Rotella synthetic at the next change just to compare.
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.
