Anybody ever use this stuff in there gas engines?
The label says heavy duty Diesel engine oil but I’m not sure how much different it can be.
Thoughts?

I run it in my dirt bike 
It doesn't have the detergents/friction modifiers that "normal" car engine oils have. Diesels don't need them.
Moto has a wet clutch, friction modifiers will render the clutch inop in short order.
But those friction modifiers may benefit gas motors.
My PW gets whatever my mechanic puts in it. Seems to work just fine.

Yup, I have used it (5w40 full syn) in many of my vehicles. 2004 Corolla from 500 miles to 96k. We sold the car to a friend-now has 186k & running strong. Am currently running it in our 2010 Corolla & the PW. Handy to get the 2.5 gallon jug. No issues.
Re: Shell Rotella T6
I have ran the 5w40 rotella T6 and Delo synthetic before with no issues. I just ordered Rotella T6 5w30 multi vehicle, it is a new version for gas or diesel vehicles. It is only available online from napa or oreilly's.
