I have run mine out 10,000 miles and done an UOA - no problemos. I always follow the OLM or 1 year, whichever comes first. Only problems I had seen was from oil dilution when adding 5% Bio. I no longer add Bio, you get it often enough at the pumps often without knowing it.

Great oil for classic cars - run it in my '62 318 Poly and '70 472 Cadillac engines. Forget about the Brad Penn and Shaeffer's oils of the world when you can get good ol' Shell Rotella T so easy and reasonable !!!

Funny the negative experience OP and one positive poster are both from WA as am I. With over 37,000 positive feedbacks left as a seller on eBay, I have sent a few packages all via USPS most of them 1st class package rate. Many out of the country even. On more than one occasion I have had the...

Would the Shell Triple 10W-30 CJ-4 work in a stock LMM? Would you expect to see MPG gains over 5W-40 Mobil 1 TDT?

Did find this 5W40 Redline VOA: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1465711#Post1465711
