I've noticed that the Delo 400 for my Dodge diesel is sold like this. The same is true for the Rotella T, I think.

Conventional - 15W-40
Synthetic blend - 10W-40
Full synthetic - 5W-40

This tells me that the synthetic is a better lubricant even at lower viscosities. I use the full synthetic, even in the summer. Hope I'm not making a mistake.
