NO it does not sound good , I know this oil well it's shell's group III synthetic for diesel application , I'm a member of TDI club and those guys are nuts about they oil , that shell sucks let me guess it cost 12.83 a galon ? Get yourself PAO or ester based oils with flash point of 450-480 range , for example 76 lubricants synthetic 10w30 is a PAO and ester blend ,and let me give youi some no . flush point 480 , pour point -58 tbn 9 VI146 this are impressive numbers for this viscosity.They also have strait PAO based oil in the 5W40 range but not as good as the one mentioned above.
