Saw these new bottles of Shell T4 15W40 and T5 15W40 at Wal-Mart last night. Never heard of T4 before and never seen synthetic blend 15W40 at my local store.

T4 was about $12.50 at a wallyworld near me
Shell, Chevron, Mobil, Schaeffer all have had syn blend 15w40 for quite some time. Just not very commonly found.
Pretty sure that T4 15w40 will be the new CK-4 product. They just haven't gotten around to labeling the jugs yet as it has only gotten Mack approval thus far.

VOA of the T4 Triple Protection is needed.
The diesel oil section is getting bigger at Walmart. My guess is because lots of bro types are shopping there for diesel oil. There are even 2 gallon jugs of Supertech 15w-40!
T4 is a new name for triple protection (which wasn't T3 and confusing)
T5 15w40 is rare. I got 12gallons at sam's club last year on clearance for 6$ each. I use it in Tractors mostly.
The t5 15w40 is NOT Jaso MA or MA2 so maybe not suitable for use in shared sump motorcycles.

The increased shear stability of T4 is good news for [shared sump] motorcycle users of the Triple Protection formulation...
T5 15W-40 has been around here for at least 2 years.

Any chance someone wants to pick some up and run a VOA?
I will probably get a voa of either T5 or T6 in January. I'm waiting to sample the actual oil that I put in my Detroit (whichever I decide) and want to use from a single batch that is all bottled the same day. I need ten gallons per oci.
I would gladly post the voa on BITOG, but it's going to be a few months from now. I had planned to switch to T5 already but I had a coupon and rebates for Delvac so I took advantage of those.

T5 and T6 (mostly) are the only Shell oils I run

Quoting myself to say...sorry, no VOA of any Rotella oils from me. I have found a new place to get my truck serviced and they use Delo XLE. If they don't mess up, I will probably stick with them. There is a new VOA of T4 10W30 in the VOA section, provided by a new member.
