also, as I so much want our both ends to meet, I cannot find a Synthetic diesel oil in the ranges of 10w and 15w
because its either a synthetic one but not diesel specific or the other way around...


So may I know whats your take on that?
It's ok since the 40rating is what is for the climate at star-up in temperate climates. Yung 5 rating naman is for the colder climates. Kaya nga sa mga laging snow covered, dapat 0wXX ang rating AFAIK.

It is not too thin since most multigrade here are even 15w40 eh.
