Its surprising just how thick even the multi viscosity 10w-30 oil gets 
here in winter. I use it in two tractors but the bigger diesel 2090 Case 
I have changed over to a straight grade
#10 oil for winter. Case did not recommend multi vis oils for that 
series tractors so I have stuck with the straight single weight oils all 
the time I have owned the tractor.
Another option I like for grain auger engines is the synthetic 0w-30 
oil. It stays much thinner in the cold yet not too thin for summer. At 
over $8 a litre it is a little expensive.
