I am having a bit on analysis paralysis on the oil for my next oil change. I am leaning towards the Duron UHP 10w40 over the 0w40 for my 2014 Ram with the 6.7 Cummins. I live in northern Canada so the -45 pour point is an actual consideration for me. If the price was comparable is the 0w40 that much better looking at the chart below? I was running Rotella 5w40 but the dealer I was going to has jacked their pricing so much that I am now going to just do my own in the shop at work.

Given the low temp concern I’d definitely go with the 0W-40. The HTHS is within spitting distance of the 10W-40 so no real drawback to the lower viscosity. The Duron products are stout and you should have good availability in Canada.
I guess it depends on where in BC you are and what winter temps you experience, as well as whether it has to be PC Duron oil.
My daughter worked up north and lowest temp she experienced was -63C.

PC under reports their HTHS numbers. Magically one year the 15w40s and 10w40s dropped from 4.4 and 4.3 to 4.1.
According to the tear-off booklets stuck to the jugs and pails the CK-4 offerings share the same additive chemistry and treat rates.
Phosphorus shows the CK-4 limit of 1,200.
It appears to be a Lubrizol product, but only your hair dresser knows for sure.

10w40 if you could still plug in the block heater, but 5 or 0 if you couldn’t plug in would definitely be better. Your batteries will thank you later.
I ran their 10w30 SHP for a few years in my 2017. Survived many a Saskatchewan winter. Its a very robust oil and served me well.
