I think XD3 has the edge on that one. I just finished a 12000 KM run in my 06 Cummins with it. While I like it for the cold weather, I have found that the Amsoil AME 15W40 that I just put in makes my truck run better overall. I also believe that the XD3 will shear a little more than most. Guess I will find out when I send in a UOA. Overall, I wanted a robust HDEO that could go over and above my OEM change intervals. Amsoil comes through on that.
 
Doesn’t the natural solubility of mineral oil supposedly work well in diesel engines, why they still blend with grp1’s and the grp3 with similar tbn perform as well as the PAO’s?
