I don't see it being a long term thing. SOPUS won't have the long term committment to such products.

There's a limited market share here. If they can't convince the consumer that they have a superior product (at a competetive price), it won't work.

Agreed. Several years ago, they introduced several products that were catered towards several niche markets and I have yet to see a bottle on a shelf:

They've gotten too complicated IMO
Mobil 1 was guilty of that too
It used to be PYB - PP - PU
And they were **** fine oils

I miss the days when I used to buy a 24 can case of Valvoline Racing Oil 20w-50 for $8 and that was it.

Shell Gas/Truck... whatever it was called.

Very niche market for distributors. Already a difficult market to get into with the OEM brands being out there. Then you have Lucas / Amsoil / Redline / Etc. On top of that.

Only reason why I can see SOPUS doing this is if they picked up blending the OEM oil for someone.

Ok, first guy who sees it on a shelf gets a Bitog T shirt.

like anything, if it sells it will stay! specialty oils including full REAL synthetics can be a good thing for sure BUT big oil likes BIG profits so time will tell. i generally use whatever i have for my fronty a 10-30 synthetic + my honda HRX gets Redline as its only 20 oz + no filter dumped at moing seasons end before blowing season in Pa

It looks to me like there might be some closeout deals toward the end of the year if certain retailers take the bait.
