As of right now, i'm running M1 5w-30, but have been contemplating switching to M1 diesel 5w-40 or even 0w-40.

Is the M1 diesel 5w40 the new name of their truck&suv 5w40? I run 5w40 and want to continue running it. I get 5psi more oil pressure over their 5w30.

M1 15-50 here for the summer but that is the only time the car will be out. When I store the car for the winter I will put in some 5w30

My last oil changed I used the German Castrol just for the sake of trying it. Most of the time I use Castrol GTX 10w30 or Havoline 10w30.
