By the way, if you drain your T5, save it for your lawnmower. I can't think of a better oil for lawnmowers.

The T6 5W30 multi vehicle is rare because only a few newer diesel vehicles, like the Ram 1500 Ecodiesel, were ever specc'ed for it. The VAST majority of diesel operators are using 15W40, with a small minority (including me) using xW30 (10W30 & 15W30). None of which would hurt a non-oil burning, out of warranty gas engine, regardless of the SN rating.
Check its builder approvals, or those for any E6 lubricant. You'd be surprised how exhaustive they are.
1) Vehicle: Almost 15 year old Toyota(not picky oil-wise) with 250k miles(probably broken in by now). 2) Location: central MS, average low above freezing(33*F) in coldest month(Jan) and average high ~90*F for warmest three months(June, July, Aug). You want 10k for OCI and to use an easily sourced and affordable Shell or Pennzoil product. I would use Rotella T6 5w40 or Pennzoil Euro 0w40. IMHO, I would not be for sweating the hard to find or expensive stuff.
