Default 0w40 oil year round?

Is anyone else running 0w40 synthetic oil year around in their 6.7L Cummins?

depends, year round if its below zero all the time. If not hell to the no... If you are above say 20 degrees most use 15-40 if not then 0-40 I use 15-40 all year round and it gets to the -30 down here. But I have a oil pan heater to help whe I first start the truck because the oil is a thick as molases..

I have run this in all my diesels 01, 08, 12, and now 08 again, year round. Never know what it could be zero degrees up here! Could happen in July!!
