Well I jumped onto the HDEO bandwagon perhaps a little to hastily. I have a 2008 Ford Ranger FX4 with the SOHC 4.0L V6, I put in PC Duron-E synthetic 5w40 with a MC filter, but after reading opinions that are all over the map I am asking as a newb should I dump this before the cold weather really starts. I live in central alberta where we see temps in the winter around -20C and sometimes dipping into to -30C and beyond. The truck is plugged in basicly all winter long. I love this site and all the great advice that one can get here, and not just on motor oil.
