HPL 15w40 cold climate oil PDS

I have that link. 15w40 cold climate is not on there. Only 0w30 and 5w40. The 15w40 there is not their cold climate version.
I am looking for this PDS below
Right. I posted a photo of that exact page. There is no PDS for the 15w40 for COLD CLIMATE just there premium 15w40. They are different.

That is what I get, you might need to call up HPL and see what they have to say.

I sent Dave a message before I posted the thread in case someone saw something I didn’t in another spot. Thanks.
I struggle with the notion that an oil (any oil) with a 15W winter rating would be specifically marketed for “cold weather”. That’s a non sequitur. If the oil has significantly better cold weather performance than other oils with a 15W winter rating then it would qualify for a better rating - and which per the API rules it must be labeled with the best performance it achieves.
Either it performs in cold weather like any other oil with a 15W rating or they aren’t following proper SAE grade labeling.

Like it’s a 10W40 but for marketing purposes call it 15W40 which seems unusual to use exotic materials in …
The volume in diesel powered units already allows for pretty long runs now.
They must be going seriously long OCI …
Just curious is that through a bypass filtering system or multiple filter changes over the 25k duration?
I asked that. No bypass and a Baldwin filter.
Full disclosure I do run the 5w40 premium in AZ currently and have run 5w40 CC in Wyoming and Wisconsin.
I understand stand and been told to me is PAO content in the Cold Climate is what the difference is in the two 5w40 formulas the tests specs would confirm that I can not talk about 15W40 I don’t know bet I can maybe assume the same Dave can only answer that.

I have used their premium cold climate 5w40 for the past few years and am bery familiar with its composition and benefits vs their standard line. I am curious about the 15w40 cold climate for a small bump in viscosity to counter fuel dilution

Whats it going in?
I don't put 15w or 20w in pull start stuff that I want to run during the winter on account of I can't start it when it's really cool out. For me it's warm weather oil. 15w is good to -4 degrees American which it absolutely gets here.

Thanks. Impressive that a 15w40 has a pour point of -56 degrees
It’s all pointing to the fact that PAO has to be the majority of the makeup of base oils used just as all the other cold climate formulas
