Hi @SavagePatch, thanks for pointing out this typo our technical data sheet. Shell Rotella T6 15W-40 is, in fact, a full synthetic. It is formulated with 100% synthetic base oils. We have now changed the technical data sheets to accurately represent the information. -The Shell Rotella Team
Hi rancin4ds - We appreciate the feedback and your longstanding history with Shell Rotella T4! Rest assured that Shell Rotella T4 meets or exceeds all API CK-4 standards and the current reformulation, which was launched in August of 2016, and performs better than the previous formulation. For...
Hi @JohnD2, great questions! Shell Rotella Gas Truck Motor Oil will be available in full synthetic 0W-20, 5W-20, and 5W-30 viscosities. SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade oils are commonly recommended for use in many new vehicles with modern engine technologies. 5W-20 and 5W-30 viscosity grades are...

Hi @GaryW, it’s perfectly fine to leave the mixture of Rotella T4 and T6 until you have your next oil change. These are fully compatible and both Ford approved. Hope this helps!
Hi @dlundblad, our apologies for the delay in response! Some Shell Rotella products were previously API Sx rated to claim gasoline engine spec for HDDEO through the waiver process covering the use of high phosphorus content oil on dual-rated engines. However, upon the introduction of the newer...
Hi @Car51, our apologies for the delay in response. The Rotella T 15W-40, now replaced by Rotella T4 Triple Protection 15W-40 contains about 1000ppm Phosphorus. It is okay to use in engines that require this level of phosphorus content. Do the engines call for any manufacturer approval and/or...
Hi @Duffyjr, Rotella T5 10W-30 (Synthetic Blend) is enhanced with synthetic base oil plus advanced additive technology for better low temperature flow (Note: pour point at –42 degC/–43.6degF). The effect: minimizing wear for better engine protection and easy cranking during cold start-ups as it...
Hello! Yes, Rotella T4 Triple Protection replaces the old Rotella T oils. The higher quality base oil and additive technology in T5 will also mean an improvement in wear protection and extended drain capability.
