Looking for opinions on using a 0w-40 diesel oil in a 2011 duramax.
I have an endless supply of Petro Canada Duron E 0w-40 oil and wondering if there would be any issues in using it.
You read so much about 15w-40 and 5w-40 use in diesels, but people tend to shy away from 0w-40. Is this a engine protection issue or a viscosity shearing down issue????? which means change it sooner. To me I don't see any reason not to use it. The 0W end of it can only be a benefit, although probably not necesary. My plan would be to use it all year round.
