Johnny is truly an asset to the site, having held a position with Pennzoil before.

Exactly! While I'm not a fan of their products I respect their marketing ability. The fact that they get their products to the market fast, and don't roll in the mud with the pigs when it comes to a battle. They have my respect for that.
I agree, I have only seen Pennzoil 0W20 online at one place and I found that by chance. Never seen Valvoline 0W20 sale anywhere but heard of it.

This is the most exciting thing since the argument about the X wars.
Shell Rotella® T6 delivers 34% better wear performance on average compared to the previous API CI-4 PLUS 5W-40 formulation.
Its a new extremely high performance synthetic just coming out. More cleaning power than ever...the claim is cleans 35% more engine sludge than our best oil (Platinum) and is based on ASTM Sequence V-G testing.
Is the Rotella T6 similar to the Pennzoil Ultra in different viscosity.

Usually BOGO is the retailers' sale/promotion while the rebate is manufacture's sale/promotion. Retailers like rebates better because they sell twice as many as usual and consumers get or don't get rebate is not their problems.

I am sure plenty of people on here would pick up Platinum if it was buy one get one

The MSDS for all 3 grades are available.

The 5W-20 says: Blend of synthetic hydrocarbon, polyalphaolefins and additives.
The 5W-30 says: Blend of polyolefins, hydrocarbon solvent and additives.
The 10W-30 says: Blend of synthetic hydrocarbon, polyalphaolefins and additives.

Great timing on this. The Civic's at 10% oil life, and my oil stash is only 5 quarts. I'd like to try this out on the next OCI. Don't laugh, but that tiny HT/HS jump from 2.6 to 2.7 compared with PP 5w-20 is kinda appetizing.
data sheet comparison between ultra and PP
Ultra has no ACEA Spec
Ultra 5w 20,30 has slightly better volatility
Ultra 10w30 has worse volatility than PP, Ul=11.2 and PP=9.7
ccs viscosity is the same
Ultra is showing better Pour point.

Someone stated earlier that this could be their "Edge" premium product. That makes sense to me. Castrol still sells syntec even though Edge is better.

It sounds like it'll be a killer oil.
I just wonder why they wouldn't go after, Amsoil / Mobil 1 EP/ Edge, with a longer drain oil.
I still think it'll be wicked stuff.
