Default 10w30
I know there are lots of threads on this but I haven't found the answer I'm looking for. Can I use 10w30 oil in the winter? I don't tow very much and when I do it's only about 2,000 pounds.

As long as the 10w30 oil is made for DIESEL engines.

I live in northwest Missouri. Typical winter is below 32 degrees but only drops below zero maybe 5-10 times a winter.

I made it through two winters up in central Iowa and South Dakota using Rotella T just plugged in the old block heater on really cold nights.
