Oil in Low Temps

[Hale on wheels]

Hey guys, I live in Texas where it doesn't get too cold for too long, so I use Rotella 15-40. I am going on vacation in Colorado in January, and I am about due for an oil change, so I was wondering if I should put in 10-30 this time, then go back to 15-40 the next go round. What do y'all think?

I wouldn't do it. Even if you can't plug in your truck while you are in Colorado, it should start with minimal problems. If it's real cold, cycle your grid heaters twice.

I live in Colorado plus spend as much time as I can in western Montana. I use Premium Blue 15-40 year round with no problems. I do try to keep the RPMs down especially in cold weather until things warm up a bit and the oil pressure starts to drop.

OK thanks guys. That is what I was leaning towards doing, but wanted some input.
