In the summer my 1951 216 gets 15W40 diesel oil, winter it's 5w20. I'd use 15w40 year round except for the fact that when the temps get into the 20's it pours like thick molasses. Not sure how the oil slinger would like that.

Now that said, 15w40 has been in my Dodge Cummins diesel year round for 20 years and at 275k miles, all's still good.
