0w40 would be fine for summer. For winter, I would use 0w30 or 5w30 synthetic for your climate.

I just recently started towing multiple ATV's and a 26' travel trailer, and its getting older, so I thought I'd give it a better oil for its many years of service. Got to love sales at UFA
I have running Baldwin filters on the engine as well as on the remote transmission spin-on filter I added in the first week of ownership back 150,000kms ago. I do 1/2 trans capacity drain every year and still shifts crisp and smooth. Everything original & I can still squawk the tires, not bad for a 6000# vehicle..
I`m in Brooks, where are you?

I would but the ngine does have 340,000kms on it. So I thought the heavier 40 weight would be a bit better Hydrodyanic cushion.

I can`t for the life of me find the pour point for this 0w40 and 5w40 Rotella T Syn oil.My computer won`t let me open some sites. HELP
My links not working?
Rotella T SB (blend) 0w30 PP -51C
Rotella T 100% syn 0W-40 PP -48C
Then looking at the T-5 oils the specs are identical.
They don't come right out and say it in the PDS's but it looks to me that the T-5 0W's are Full Synthetic and the rest of the T-5 line is blend. At least that is how I am interpreting the info given to me. This not how I saw it the other day. Upon a closer look I see in the description area on the PDS page it states that the 0W's are syn technology and the rest are syn blend technology.
