Shell Rotella T5?

Anyone running this T5 synthetic blend 10W-30? Saw it in Wally-World today for $16 per gallon, and had not seen it before? New product from Shell? Little less expensive than the T6 Full Synthetic...

I haven't seen it. Is it CJ-4 rated? I doubt it. If it is, use it. If not, DON'T DO IT!!

Yes, it is CJ-4 rated. But correct me, I may be wrong here, isn't 10W-30 only good between 0 and 50 degrees? Might be a good winter time oil only? Also comes in a 10W-40 as well.
