Shell's Rimula is another oil name with no apparent meaning. But it sounds like a good name for a hemorrhoid cream

Ro`tel´la: n. 1.(Zool.) Any one of numerous species of small, polished, bright-colored gastropods of the genus Rotella, native of tropical seas.

Gastropods are animals that have shells, therefore, it fits with "Shell" branded oils.

Sta-Lube has been bought out by CRC, and they'll be around for a long time.

In fact, Sta-Lube makes The Generic Tube of CV grease seen everywhere.
