I'm by no means an expert but I run 15w-40 motorcraft super duty in my wd45d.It only gets run in warmer temps. If you're starting this in less than 40 degree temps then I would drop to 10w-30 diesel grade,15/40 gets pretty thick in cold temps.You need to remember the oil pick up has a fine mesh screen on it which makes it harder to get the oil drawn through at colder temps. Honestly the 10w-30 would probably be ok year round.My operators manual for my 45d says 30w for summer and 20w for winter but that was old technology from back in the day.
54 wd-45gas ; 56 wd-45d N/F w/fact p/s ; 63 d-17 sIII N/F gas ; 60 D14 N/F ; 67 d-17 sIV N/F gas ; 63D15 sII W/F; 39rc#667 ; 2021 massey 4710 fwa ; gravely 2 wheel tractors

I ran 15wX40 in my series 4 diesel year around. I only used it to feed livestock in the winter. I always put out enough big bales to last at least 2 weeks. Then I could usually find a warmer day to put out more hay. Tank type water heater is a must in the winter.
