Its a really good synthetic oil, easy to find and super cheap like $21 a gallon. I just need some reassurance its not going to f'up VVEL.

"I doubt that cold start pressure with 5W40 on a hot day would be higher than with 5W30 on a cold day" Also my engine oil temp is 220f cruising on the highway i think the 5w-40 will be thinned out sufficiently. I'm wondering what end of the spectrum T6 is on whether it's a heavy, mid or a light 40 wieght.
