I've seen T1 which is a sae30.
T5 I believe was a 10w/30
T6 15w/40 I think.
Is there a T2, T3,T4?
What does it stand for?

Its just marketing stuff, T6 = full synthetic, T5 = semi synthetic, the other stuff is dino.
The only anomaly is T5 0W40 which is a full synthetic, but I don't think you'll find it in your neck of the woods...

Interesting-if that's the case, that's the first 0W I've ever heard of that was NOT a full synthetic-maybe Johnny has some insight on this??

Weird...I saw some 0W40 RTS in my neck of the woods today and it was semi syn...in the new packaging. Odd, pdf says full, and we are finding syn....

Probably semi-syn before the infamous Syntec lawsuit-then it magically became full synthetic!!!
T5 in the US is a semi-syn 10W30 that comes in a silver container. The Canadians are confusing the US people. lol
