What is RGT?

Shell Rotella Gas Truck, Shell's failed attempt to create a new market segment to get more shelf space, it was released in March 2019ish and in the US it sat on the shelves over a year and sold very few units and all the autoparts stores, walmart, and TSC finally blew it out after 1-2 years of sitting not selling.

What’s hilarious about Shell RGT is Wal Mart near Ohio/me has like 12 5quart jugs of 5w20 left. All scan at $22.97

Mine blew them out, the 5W20 got marked all the way down to 5 bucks, the 5W30 went quicker at like $11 or $12.

You joined the forums in 2008 and really don't know what RGT stands for?
It's a pretty good oil where I'd place it between PUP and PP. (PUP - Pennzoil Ultra Platinum; PP - Pennzoil Platinum).

This was my go to oil for my 3.5 ecoboost. I'll need to find a new oil once my stash runs dry.

Just use Quaker State, RGT seems to pretty much be QSUD in a different bottle.

I've heard that before and the specs are very close.

there is a post by Dragon44 from 2019 with VOAs:

Best Shell/Pennzoil is?

So I searched the forums and from what iv gathered is Pennzoil ultra platium is the best followed by Shell gas truck followed by Pennzoil platium..? Is my thinking correct on this?

@tcp71 - you need to go into store to see the $24 price on shelve, it could be store sale thou... I got 6 jugs and receipt to prove it too, not going to store just to take price tag pic for you.

True. As much as I like RGT, I've found QSUD (now QSFS) to be a great product.

Here's a local inventory stock checker, like how we have brickseek in the US.

The point was - my local WM had RGT at that price where tag wasn't even showing 'sale', just regular yellow tag. WM website shows higher price at the same time too.

$24 at my local Walmart as well. Has been for a couple weeks now at least.

Picked up the last 5L bottle of 5w30 RGT at my local Walmart today for $24.00. Now have 25 liters stashed away.

Not saying that RGT is bad oil I have some in my stash. Two jugs but I got it at Home Depot for $14.86 a Jug. Am I going to pay $24 to $31 dollars a Jug for it? Oh please don't make me do the ROTFLMAO it too old for that

One, this is Candian Dollars, so this is slightly less than 20USD jug, and two, oil tend to be more expensive in Canada than the United States.

Interesting site. Thanks. Not hanging my hat on a stock of 1 though.
