Appreciate your feedback.


Being a SOPUS Company, use with confidence. Sure Amsoil is an upgrade, but so is the price. Doing long OCIs?... use Amsoil. Doing shorter OCIs?... use the Shell.

For all it worth, I use shell f/s in everything I own.(02corvette,07 gxp 5.3,93 k1500 204k,97 f150,72 montecarlo, john deere mower) and have used shell oils for 25 years. I thought of using amsoil but naaaaa I'll stick with shell its been good to me.

I am currently using Amsoil 5w-30 XL oil currently but with the number of miles I drive (42k last year), its hurting on the pocket. I recently got the BJ's membership and i saw this oil for a decent price.

Appreciate your feedback.


Shell gas has been reported to have too much lead and therefore bad for your cat so therefore I would be wary of their oil. Until further research, I would defer the decision to use Shell and stick with something proven FOR YOUR APPLICATION. Until you know what it would do to your engine, why use it?! Let results like gas mileage, performance or some might even add UOA to that list. (some might start with it) speak volumes for themselves to the exclusion of hype, pomp or marketing prowess. For Hondas, it's, hands down, Ford Motorcraft or any Conoco Phillips products.

Laterzz.

Speaking of "hype, pomp or marketing prowess", "For Hondas, it's, hands down, Ford Motorcraft or any Conoco Phillips products."

And who in their right mind reported that Shell gas has to much lead. There is not lead in automotive gasoline, it was outlawed years ago.

There is no way Shell would risk all the law suites and reputational degradation to save a few pennies that they would just pass the cost of onto the customer anyway…just like all the other fuel companies…besides which I have done enough work for BP and Shell to know they are very focused on following local and county laws.
On a personal front I have used Shell fuel and oil for years and certainly think their products are great….I also use Motul, Mobil, Castrol, Pentosin, Liqui Moly and Fuchs and find them all to be quality products.

I use around 8-9k OCI for HOnda. I don't know if they are long or short. I know on my Subaru I use Amsoil with around 7k OCI but i somehow feel its a heavier vehicle (the Outback)+ Subaru recommends 7.5k intervals anways unlike Honda that recommends 10k OCI's.

i wish i could find Shell Full Syn, haven't seen it around here at all.

Depends on how you make those 7.5k miles on the Subaru. My Outback UOA came back not so good with PP 5w-30 after only 4k but a lot of those trips were short.

Wow, normal OB service interval is 7.5k so I am surprised that UOA did not come out ok at 4k. You must be driving really rough in winters or something like that.

Should I take a crack at all that?

Be careful...all the lead in that Shell gas will make that too slippery synthetic oil cause your bearings to skate...

You talking about lead in "gas" or the oil. Why do I think that the link between Shell and lead is an urban legend?
