It's the only oil that will work in my 6.2 truck diesel to stay fluid in -4 F degree temps and it does not seem to leak in my 30 year old Hummer diesel.

In my Volvo 6324 engine I use dyno 5W30 because that's what is specifically recommended in the owner's manual.

Doesn't mean that others are not good, but I get good mileage and certainly no over heats or crusty stuff on the dipstick.
I always used Mobil 1 in the States...but the hot climate in Singapore, as well as the heavy traffic congestion means I do not need to consider a Cold Climate motor oil.
In my case, I am leaning towards Pennzoil Euro.
