I notices a slight difference in starting, but no blue smoke. I can imagine blue smoke at 0 deg but not lots. How bad?

Honestly haven't seen a huge difference in the starting of it but hopefully its helping the engine.

It's only gotten in the low teens here, w/ wind chill in the negatives... The couple days it did, my truck white/grey smoked for a minute or 2 after sitting parked for 12 or so hrs!!!

have you guys done an oil analysis with T6? I am running valvoline extreme blue 5w-40 at the moment.

I'm going to my next oil change. This is my first round of Rotella T6.

When its this cold out (-30c) my exhaust has a bluish tinge to it. Shell T6.
