Where did you find the HT/HS values? Shell posted it on their Canadian site?

That 0w-40 seems like a good oil that could be used in many Euro applications.

Or wasted in my cars! Although I do run it from Oct. to May in winter, regardless of how many miles I do so I get my moneys worth out of it.

Shell Canada emailed them to me and it took him a week to dig up the spec's.

Well, at least they did it. When I asked Shell US about HT/HS of RT6 5w-40, they told me it's "proprietary information."

Initially the Shell rep' said the info wasn't available; he just had the T6 spec's, so the email I got today came as quite a surprise.

[CATERHAM, I assume the TBN for the 5W40 is also 9?]

Also it looks to me that you are able to get blood from a stone i.e. getting this previously unreleased data. Can you inquire similarly for Esso XD 0W30 and 0W40 ie the HTHS? (I have always been given the cold shoulder re the reveal of this #)

Wow, "blood from a stone"!
I am putting my talents to waste!
