Default Winter oil

I have a 96 cummins 12 valve and I live in Ohio where it gets really cold in the winter and I'm going to be driving it every day and I was wondering what would be the best oil to use in the winter? Thanks!

At any rate it has to be a CI rated oil, I've seen 5w40 before but I lived in Ohio for two years and it doesn't get cold enough for that. Not going to argue, it gets cold and wind chill is fierce.
