[T2] Oil Change - which "style"

[Joe St.Croix]

 I would stay with the Rotella 30 wt
The bus is in Florida, outdoor temps wont vary much making the dual
viscosity oil irrelevant.
In an atmosphere where its 35 in the morning and 50 in the afternoon
(Fahrenheit) I would consider a 15-30
But it does seem that Florida does get some odd weather these days
