I saw 245 degrees oil temperature when towing my 5th wheel on those long uphills in the Rockies this summer. Do you really want to run dino oil in that situation. I think not. It normally runs about 205 degrees on the flats.
Rotella makes a 15w40 full synthetic.

Ford recommends 15w40 only down to 20 degrees for my engine.
