Only Rotella T6 is full synthetic. And if he's not running it, he's going to have turbo issues. Unless he's changing it often, running it hard, warming it up and cooling it off, and keeping the PCV and EGR systems clean.

For climate effects look in your owners manual. It will clearly show the thicker oils for warmer weather. I believe this is almost all 'start-up' viscosity, I don't think running viscosity can change much, as the engine temperature doesn't change.
