Found this old thread , https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/shell-rotella-t6-multi-vehicle-5w-30.282028/ . Has a V.O.A. .
I absolutely loved using this oil when I was able to get it for about $20 per gallon late last year at NAPA. It is a very heavy and very stout, shear resistant 5w30. Good luck finding it for "cheap" whatever that means according to your definition, it is usually around $30 per gallon but it really is an exceptionally good 5w30.
I’m not that familiar with the makeup of the different oils, would this be acceptable to run in a 2017 Honda Accord 4 cylinder? I’ve always used Rotella 5w and 15w40 in my motorcycle and wanted to have just one oil on hand for everything. Or would this be too thick ??
I am pretty sure your engine specifies 0w20 usage and I would stick with that unless you are in an area with temperatures in excess of 100 degrees fahrenheit on a regular basis.
SA% is funny because I have seen Shell list it as 1% but MB Bevo lists this oil as low SAPS. I am sure if you do some digging around this site you will find some conversation about that.
As far as NOACK and HTHS, I don't know but this is rated as HDEO as well as SN PLUS per API's website. I have used it in a GDI engine with a reputation for shredding oil and have seen others use it in similar reputation engines as well, all with excellent results.
HDEO "low saps" is not identical SA wise as PCMO "low saps".... Thats why you can observe higher SA levels with that one...
