What do us Canucks use for WINTER oil

[Hesh]

Hey guys, anyone got any recommendations for oil brands or weights? Looking to switch over to synthetic for the winter, and wanted to know what everyone else is running, and what they think. I live in Winterpeg, Manitoba, so temps do hit -40 C in winter. Keep this in mind lol.

this will be my first winter with the H1... I am curious too.. not that Toronto has had a real winter these last couple of years...

I don't have an H-1, but for my baby (H2), I will only use Mobile one 5-30..



If it gets that cold there... may want to look at a 5-20...

I use Duron syn 5w30 all year here.

Mobile 1 Synthetic

5-30 all yr round.



Hard to beat it and the thinness helps starting in the winnipeg cooooooold.

So as of yesterday -



Engine - Rotella T6 5w40 Synthetic w/ a quart of Lucas Syn Oil Stabilizer

Diffs - Eneos full synthetic 75w90

Hubs - Lucas Hub Oil

New Fuel Filter

New K&N Oil Filter

New x 2 800 CCA Batteries (to replace the 550CCA batteries that came with the truck )

Stanadyne Diesel Winter Additive

Extended the Coolant heater plug



Next week

Tranny - a Syn ATF of my choosing, new gasket and filter

Coolant replacement w/ some watter wetter thrown in.



Horizon:

Oil pan warmer (the VW low-profile pad style) to complement my coolant heater

What am I missing?
