Default just looking for a second opinion

JX Nippon Oil & Energy USA, Inc. | ENEOS 0W-50 anybody think this would be a good move from Rotella t6? I like the 0 weight on start up especially here in mn on the cold mornings. would the 50w be to much? Please don't turn this in to a best oil thread, read a ton , can't find info on this product on this forum. Thanks.

Compare:

Rotella T6 5W-40 manufactured 01/27/12 - Bob Is The Oil Guy

Eneos 0w50 - Bob Is The Oil Guy

I'd say the Rotella has more of the good stuff (the TBN, which wasn't tested, will also be higher in the Rotella), and that 0w to 5w difference isn't worth the extra expense. Just warm your truck up and drive easy for the first 10-15 minutes.
