Rated API SN
$13.97 for the 5 quart jug

That's encouraging!

I've been hoping that Shell will start offering more of its
RoW products in the USA especially their gear oil
like Spirax S6 GXME GL-4. This product is literally
UNobtanium in the USA at any price.

I saw this the other day online home depots site. Their prices are great too as evidenced by the picture

Also PYB is there at a great price too. About the same price has wally world. That's awesome.

 

[CourierDriver]

Good deal, buy 6 containers, would hold you for awhile.

 

[Justin251]

They don't sell it in the south I don't think.

 

[daves87rs]

Nice!

 

[bbhero]

I guess not in the deep south.. Virginia certainly isn't that by any means

 

[wemay]

This info was posted some time ago, by various members. Miami HDs have the same oil and prices. Not sure about other southern states.

 

[Nick1994]

That's a good price for sticker price oil.

I only buy my oil (except for the picky VW) for $1.00 per quart or less, otherwise I'd scoop this up!

I supposed you checked with a local shell distributor? I wish I could get Shell ATF 134 at retail, but luckily the local shell distributor isn't too far from me so I can get it there.

The local H/D recently put in a bunch more automotive stuff, actually have several bays of oil, car care stuff, etc.

 

[bbhero]

That's a good thing. Prices are actually very similar to wally world so..

 

[dlundblad]

Weird its not in the traditional SOPUS jug. I like Menards' $2 per quart sale better.

 

[Merkava_4]

But they purposely make it worse than PYB correct ?

 

[Garak]

Do you honestly believe that, Merk? Look at the VOAs on PYB, QS, and FS. Within measurement tolerance, the additive packages are identical, and I'd be convinced that they were the same product in three different bottles unless I didn't believe Johnny, who told us they are, indeed, different products. Nonetheless, they all meet the exact same specifications and are functionally equivalent.

This does highlight the issue, though. Shell bought a bunch of brands specifically because of the brand name, only to let their own brand's reputation slip.

That's what I've heard said on here several times. Reminds me of bronze, silver, gold, platinum, standard duty, heavy duty, super duty, premium, deluxe, and super deluxe.

 

[bbhero]

You forgot Ultra Super Duper duty

The FS doesn't look like PYB to me. At least in the 5W-20 flavor:
