While this is from awhile ago I can not let this go unchecked...Ford or Motorcraft makes a 10w-30 Power Stroke Diesel engine oil that is recommended to be used when the teps are below 30*F, how is that not engineered for diesels? When its 0*F and a blistering windchill, and you go to start your truck with 15w-40, you are going to wish you had 10w-30 in it.
