I should have a bottle or two left from the BOGO offer... I will check this morning.
Jokes aside, I feel the issue is serious. I'm surprised Johnny really didn't chime in which a more meaningful post, although he is not obligated to .... uhmm?

In the 80's I saw this REALLY well with M1 15w-50. If it was cold out (it was used as make up quart kept in the vehicle) you would pour out basestock (very thin) and then get a very heavy (at colder temps) motor honey in the bottom of the bottle. I'm sure that they worked out some of those problems now ..but it would still come down to either a blending error ...or too little carrier ..or too much additive (both would appear the same). One would be tolerable with excess additives falling out ..the other would mean less additives in suspension.
..or so I reason
I think it is some additives, shake well before use...
called PENNZOIL tech on this issue , said there is extra addative pack in the PLATINUM , which causes the fallout and not to be concerned . Also , stated you can shake bottle violently and wouldn't help to mix to consistency . Perhaps a paint shaker might work , if yeh have one onhand or go to nearest home improvement or paint center .
How about putting it in a blender?!
Just kidding.

I wonder how many micron particles are those at the bottom of the bottle? I wouldn't want to use bypass filtration or else I would lose the extra additive pack
I'm surprised that you do not store your quarts in a bottle rotation machine. It's like the boxes that store your Rolex in that move back and forth to keep the self winder cranked up. You just set your oil storage device to turn the bottles over three times a day. They hold 12 bottles and the average BITOG member would need 4 or 5 machines. Just remember that if you're storing inferior oil you must set the timing to 6 times a day. Just make sure that at midnight the bottles are all right side up, that's midnight GMT. Also the labels must be facing forward and you should be careful not to mix different brands of oil on the same device, and never mix conventional oil with synthetic. You can also order these devices with heaters if you live in an are where there is cold weather.

What? You guys don't have the "rocking mixer"? No wonder. I thought all of you had one of these with your next oil change sitting "on deck" in a pre-OCI staging routine.
Get with the program, guys
Get with the program, guys
Well several things:
1. I did not nor do not think it is serious.
2. With all the emails and phone calls to the tech folks, they are the one's that should answer these technical questions.
3. If I would have given an answer, it would have been the same responce the phone tech gave.
4. I don't have a clue what Shell is doing anymore.
5. Proof is in the UOA's

I re-read your post, and looked at your screen name, and still I can't figure out what Pennzoil had to do with you having to get rid of your Expedition.
Perhaps you are famous, and there is a story behind your fame that someone will fill us in on....?

I've been staring at his screen name for ten minutes now. I still don't get it. Perhaps he's a big Kiefer Sutherland fan and Kiefer Sutherland is on an anti-Pennzoil campaign?
