I'm running Shell Rotella 5W-40 Synthetic in my 95 PSD. That combined with a gear reduction starter has almost eliminated my cold start worries in MN.

Depends, Lars.
Powerstroke: Winter (Oct-Apr) I run Valvoline 5/40 synthetic.  Summer (Rest of the year) I run Valvoline 15/40 Dinosaur Flesh.  Two cars: 91 Cutlass Calais/92 Subaru Loyale Year round Napa (Valvoline) 5/30 Dino with top-offs between oil changes of whatever I can find around the shop for the oil-burning Subaru. It goes through a quart every 500 miles or so. Motorcycle: Valvoline 10/40 bike stuff....Dinosaur. I'll vote for Dino oil because I use more of it.
