Yup - I actually saw several gallon jugs at a TSC in Shelbyville, KY this past weekend.

I just about freaked out. I've seen the 10w-30 T5 at WW, but never thought I'd see the 10w-40 in real life on the shelf somewhere.

I almost bought it on the spot, except it would have been hard to get it all the way home on my Goldwing, and I don't think the wife would have been willing to give up her seat ...

You're not exactly helping me, Johnny. I've already got GALLONS of dino Rotella 10w-30 (my personal favorite) waiting to slip into something mechanical.

I was just shocked to see that product actually exist on the shelf. It was sitting right next to the hen's teeth ...

, you gota get out more dn3. : )
 
When I was picking up 4 gallons of Fleet Charge at my local TSC for my radiator flush on my 7.3L, which had it MUCH CHEAPER than my local NAPA, I saw the Rotella T5 10w-40, which I found interesting. I didn't know they made it. I was also reading the labels on the Traveller 15w-40, which I had never heard of either.

Yep, that is the question.
My wally world has the T5 in 10w-30 and TSC has the T5 10w-40.

The real underlying question is not this, but rather when will some creative BITOGer think he knows "better" and mixes the two, thereby creating a 10w-35?

You should go back and buy it all up and sell it to all the oil junkies here. lol

Yeah, or you could just mix the 5w-40 (T6) with the 15w-40 (T) to make a 10w-40 Syn. Blend!
