I don't have a 617 book handy at the moment. For my M102, 10W40 and 10W50 are OK for all temps over -4F and 15W40 is recommended for any temp over 5F. 10W30 is NOT recommended above 50F, and 5W30 is not recommended above 14F. Per Marshall, IIRC, 15W50 was fine down ot -10F or -20F, and it was his 2nd favorite oil. He'd rather have Delvac One truck oil, or M1 5W40 turbo diesel formula, which is the same thing. I buy oil at Walmart usually. Last time I was there, the price for 4qts of 5W40 was about the same ($22-23) as five quarts of 15W50. I'd buy the 5W40 diesel oil if the price were closer. Both the 15W50 and 5W40 can be hard to find at times.
