Cold Weather oil weight

Please forgive me for quoting myself...

Hi Folks;

I am in the process of ordering some of the new Shell Rotella T6. I intend to use it in all of my vehicles (except the Segway)

It is a fully synthetic 5W40 intended for diesels but I have heard from my motorcycle buddies that its the best for my kind of bike (according to them, NOT Honda). The Shell bulk plant doesn't stock it for some reason.

The price from Shell Bulk is $7.77 per Litre (in 12 litre cases). Not carried by WalMart, CrappyTire, Lordco or Costco, but Napa is interested in bringing it in for me at cheaper than the Shell price. If anyone wants to piggy back on the order, lemme know soon... It could take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

And just 'cause I'm crazy, I will be adding the WS2 to my oil again.

I have a related question....

Is changing to a lighter oil as necessary if you have a block heater? (and can plug in wherever you stop...)

I think that Mobile1 is particular for diesel but 15$/L is so much. I will calculate it.

Finally I've got Shell Rotella T6 5W40 full synth for $7.61/1L from LORDCO.
My 2 cents: I would rather use "specific diesel" than unisex.
