Shell Rotella T5 15W40 Semi Synthetic
Getting close to oil change time unfortunately. Saw this at CDN tire. Really great price for a 5g pail of T5 semi synthetic @ 83$. Checked availability in Ontario and yes available at this price so it does seem like all of Canada. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/shel ... 9180p.html

Re: Shell Rotella T5 15W40 Semi Synthetic
I have seen the T5 on the shelves at CT. How would this compare to the T4, which I can’t seem to find.

Re: Shell Rotella T5 15W40 Semi Synthetic
T5 is a step up from T4. Kind of a mixture of T4 and T6 synthetic. https://comparemotoroils.com/shell-rote ... -t5-vs-t6/

Re: Shell Rotella T5 15W40 Semi Synthetic
Anyone check the ingredients? Heard Rotella took the zinc out of their oil recently!

Re: Shell Rotella T5 15W40 Semi Synthetic
The link I have above was posted Sept 2022 so I must assume it is up to date. Scroll down until you see "engine wear off protection" where they do list zinc content however no clue if that number is a normal amount of zinc however T5 does seem to have the most of it.

Zinc isn't the end all be all. There are other ingredients that can be used in place of zinc.

Re: Shell Rotella T5 15W40 Semi Synthetic
Price is up since September.
It's $100 a barrel at canadian tire.
Going to give it a try on the mariner.
