I agree with PawoSD.......I do not believe there are any 5W30 weight oils that are API Diesel rated. They are all 40 weight oils in the US. So look for a 5W40 that has a API rating of CI, CF or CJ4 for winter use. All the ratings beginning with a "C" are for Diesel.

You should be fine reusing the filter you installed just days ago.
