Don't know where you're shopping, but at Canadian Tire T5 is $19.95/4L and T6 is $29.95/4L.
He he, our Canadian Tires and Partsource stores are the opposite. The discrepancy isn't quite that bad, though.
I believe the T6 is $29.95 and the T5 is somewhere around $35. I wish T5 was $19.95 here.

Wow. I can get T6 for $20/gallon at WalMart, or $23 at an auto parts store here.

I bet your oil change with T6 could double!! that is why they call it a Heavy Duty Engine Oil and it is considered a syn which is an extra!!!

would the T5 10w30 be a good choice for my Supercharged 3.3l Nissan Xterra 4x4 auto trans? It is a daily driver with a one way commute of ~12 miles mix of city/freeway. Vehicle does some occasional 3000# towing, and some beach driving. We live in the PNW where the winters can get a 2 week stretch of temperatures in the teens, but usually in the 30's for the colder months. I believe the manual recommends API SL 5w30 year round, but 10w40 can also be used as a recommendation

I think T5 would be a great option if you want an HDEO in a 30 weight... After I put in new valve lifters I'm going to switch back to T5. I had a noisy lifter and switching to 15w-40 quieted it down.

The T-5 prices quoted are most likely for 0w-40 or 0w-30, that is the most common T-5 up here. I went to the local UFA yesterday and the price difference between T-5 10w-30 and T-5 0w-40/30 was close to $10 more for the 0w-40 and 0w-30. Do not quote me on this...but I have a feeling that the T-5 0w's have PAO basestocks. I say this for 2 reasons, first the price difference and second the specs of these 0w's are better looking than Esso XD3 of the same 0w flavor.

I use Rotella T5 in my 96 Geo Metro, 2008 Nissan Altima, and 2002 7.3L powerstroke.
So far so good! None have spont combusted yet!

i'd love to get some T5 0w-30 down here
The Shell Rotella T5 10w30 is $11.50/gallon at the Super Walmart in west austin, tx off 620 by four points blvd.
I still think the Amsoil ACD 10w30 is a premium 10w30 product, but you cant beat the T5 for 11.50/gallon.
