Default 15w 40 Rotella Vs 30 weight oil

Is anyone running 15w 40 Rotella in their trucks, just wondering because we run that in all of our dump trucks so we always have some on hand.

Thanks,

J.R.

Default oil

Mine has stencilled under the hood use 15w40 only. Im sure about everyone use the rotella 15w40. I prefer the valvoline 15w-40 premium blue. Im sure they are about the same

Mine is also stenciled 15w40 and I plan to use Rotella on the next change. It still has military oil in it now.
