[Fwd: Re: [Vwdiesel] winter oil]

[Gerry]

I would agree with Loren.  Manual/bible calls for 15w40 for temps down to about -20C, lighter below that.

I've used Rotella XLA 15w40 year round (Toronto has similar climate to Chicago) with no probs; frequently visit friends living on the Quebec/Vermont border.  I'm currently using Delvac synth 5w40 Dec-Mar, but only because I got some at a "relatively" good price at a local Wallymart.
