Formula Shell 5W30 Syn Blend

[Islander]

Has anybody had any UOA experience with Formula Shell 5W30 syn blend in a passenger car? If so, I would like to know if it appears to be a quality motor oil.

I contacted Shell Canada and they informed me that the synthetic used in Formula Shell Synthetic Blend is PAO. Also, they provided me with the following specs:

Formula Shell Synthetic Blend 5W30

Pour Point -42C
Flash Point 225C
VI 166
CCS, cp 5223@-25C
Borderline Pumping (MRV) -40.4C
TBN 6.88

The above suggests that this would probably be a good choice for Canadian climate.
