I use T5 in my L67 right now and have used T6 in it as well. You should be fine with it in the L36.
I am thinking hard about using it for 5k-6k in the Impala. My only concern is the zinc content and the catalytic converter. Zinc content is ~1,200.

It's marketed as an "energy saving" oil. This is typically a code word for a fair amount of friction modifiers, hence, this oil may not be the most wet clutch friendly.
But besides, does your bike even allow the use of Xw-30 oils?
Honda actually recommends 10w30 across the entire temperature range. I can run 5w30 below like 50*F and they "allow" 10w40 above 90*F.
I am looking to kill two birds with one stone. It seems to be a stout and cost effective oil.
