Anyone running T6 0-40?? Harsh Canadian winters here

I bought two 5-gallon pails in Whitehorse when I drove through a couple months ago. I'll be running it starting with the next oil change.

I also installed my block heater last weekend on a day that started in -26 degrees F and never topped 0 degrees F. Huge shout out to @STIAJW for his detailed write-up. Took me a bit, but I finally figured out how Ford wants the block heater cord routed.

Yeah I'll get getting a oil change tomorrow , iv been wanting to run t6 for awhile but didn't drivw it enough to be able to justify , but will be using alot this year, can't wait to see if I notice a difference, mine came factory with a block heater

Could be all in my head but after changing to routella the engine is definitely alot quieter and sure seems to run better when it's cold

I run Shell T6 0w-40 year round, No issues. Very cold starts are nice but I usually plug it in at -15c or lower.

Buy from Walmart Canada. Usually $10 to $15CAD cheaper than Canadian Tire per 5L jugs.

Just make sure the 0w-40 oil is CJ-4/CK-4. Mid-2020 Shell added the CK-4 rating. I have found some old CJ-4 only recently on shelfs.

I did my switch to 0W-40 about 2 weeks ago as we have not topped 0 deg F for almost two weeks and have dropped as low as -45F. I try to conserve mine because it is exceedingly difficult to find in my state; when it is available, it sells for twice the price of 5W-40. So a 5-gallon pail that sells for CAD $189 in Whitehorse (0W-40 and 5W-40 are the same price) sells for the equivalent of CAD $469 at my local Napa and is unavailable at Walmart. By comparison, 5W-40 T6 can be purchased for the equivalent of CAD $209 for a 5-gallon pail.

Needless to say, I stock up on 0W-40 when in Whitehorse.
