My friend seemed to like his truck, and apart form the urea system freezing it was trouble free. I think if I had one of those I'd just do a dpf and urea system delete and probably egr delete as well.

Where are you guys at? I see it hit -48C(-54F) in Watson this morning. Dease was -41C and here in Telegraph we're only at -39(-38F). Looking at environment canadas site it looks like -40 temperatures extend all the way down to Prince George. I have a friend and neighbour here in Telegraph Creek...

Redline does not class the 10-40 motorcycle oil as a racing oil and they state it is good for "Extended drain intervals over other brands due to higher quality base stocks and excellent dispersants ", although I'm not sure what extended drain intervals really means in the context of motorcycle...
