Well, it's a good distinction to have, particularly for those who don't want to check the back.

... ESPECIALLY when the 8 that are there don't include the one I'm interested in. All the umpty-gillion grades and types of QS, Shell, Pennzoil conventional, but maybe 2 grades of Platinum and Ultra Platinum either nowhere to be found or a few lonely bottles of 5w30.

SOPUS makes great stuff, but they sure have a funny idea of how to sell it.
 
Yep, the Euro stuff is missing in action, of course, and the PUP stuff, well, forget it unless I want an EcoBox from NAPA. Until they do something like an extended drain warranty like gold bottle Edge or Mobil 1 Extended Performance, they're going to have problems. It's strange that I can get Pennzoil Gold more easily.
