Yes previously T6 was 5W-40 weight and geared towards primarily diesel use. Apparently a lot of customers (including myself) loved the protection of T6 but wanted oil to use in their gasoline engines requiring 5w30 so they came out with T6 in 5w30 weight. I was on the fence about using 5w40 in my engine being almost brand new and such a high revving engine.
