The Shell Rotella T  Synthetic only comes in a 5W-40 (at least, that Wal-Mart carries).  Using 15W-50 always bothered me a little, as I tend to ride year-round and encounter some pretty cold temps in the winter time that 15W isn't appropriate for.  The 5W rating is simply going to make cold startup a little easier; once the oil is warm it'll act just like any other 40W oil.
