Farm-Rated Synthetic 5w40

I e-mailed Mills Fleet Farm at they said they contacted the manufacturer and were given this info. This is the EXACT same text description as the Citgo SynDurance 5w-40 and Mystik JT-8 SYNTHETIC 5W-40. All they did is replace the name of the product in each description. They did not include the "TYPICAL PROPERTIES" section. Makes sense that this would be the same oil as the SynDurance and JT-8 Synthetic 5w-40.
I'll give it a try. It's $2.59/quart vs. Rotella T Synthetic at $5.00/quart

DESCRIPTION:
The design of FARM RATED EXTREME DUTY Engine Oil SAE 5W-40 utilizes premium synthetic base stocks to improve high and low temperature properties. Poly-alpha olefin synthetic components.
(PAOs) give the best low temperature performance while minimizing volatility. The careful balance of synthetic components gives improved fuel economy; improved cold temperature performance and improved engine drain interval optimization capabilities.
The industry faces continuing challenges with new emission regulations. The advanced additive
approach used in FARM RATED EXTREME DUTY Engine Oil SAE 5W-40 addresses the engine needs of the future, including Heavy Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems, Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF?s), and Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC?s).
FARM RATED EXTREME DUTY Engine Oil SAE 5W-40 is designed to exceed the performance requirements of API CJ-4 and engine Manufacturers specifications.
PERFORMANCE
BENEFITS:
• Promotes fuel savings
• Provides year-round engine protection for fleets operating in wide temperature conditions
• Permits quick-fill lubrication flow during cold weather start-up
• Exhibits excellent high temperature wear protection
• Eliminates seasonal changeover and inventory problems when going from SAE 10w30 in winter to 15w40 in the summer
• Helps avoid engine damage from using cold weather starting aids such as ether
• Reduces dependency on engine block heaters
• Provides drain interval optimization capability
• Promotes longer engine life
• Improves equipment productivity and service availability
RECOMMENDED
FOR:
Equipment recommending CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, API CI-4,
CH-4, CG-4, API SM, SL, SJ (gasoline engines)
Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-1
Cummins CES 20076, 20071 and 20081
Detroit Diesel 93K214, 93K215, 93K218
Mack EO-O Premium Plus (07)
Mack EO-N Premium Plus (03) and EO-M Plus
ACEA E3 and E5 performance
Daimler Chrysler 228.3
Volvo VDS-3, VDS-4
APPLICATIONS:
FARM RATED EXTREME DUTY Engine Oil SAE 5W-40 is ideal for engines operating in a wide temperature range, thereby avoiding the use of SAE 10w30 in winter and changing to 15w40 during summer months. Examples of such extreme service applications include emergency vehicles, vehicles with frequent cool down/restart cycles, refrigeration, generator sets, and standby engines.

If this oil is CI-4 Plus/SL still it's GOOD use it!!!!
cool nice to see some action going on this thread, i've never used it yet but you never know.
I have used the 10w30 HDEO in several vehicles, just never splurged for 40 weight when its not really required anywhere.
