I don't understand.Has anyone heard of the rotella gas truck full synthetic oil being discontinued by shell? I was thinking about using it but hate to if it’s being taken off the market. I see it still on shelves but not sure if it’s a rumor or not.
I know it sounds crazy, but aside from marketing failure, and I guess this would be included in marketing, the actual container is horrendous. Red. Red with a sticker of a photo of a white truck hauling a boat. Just terrible. Totally washed out, cheap looking, just wrong. It looks like something you’d find down the trailer aisle in Walmart, right next to the motor home anti-freeze and bungie cords. It’s awful.^^^That, right there^^^ Marketing failure but good oil.
You're right .. about the label that is.I know it sounds crazy, but aside from marketing failure, and I guess this would be included in marketing, the actual container is horrendous. Red.

Right now, Mobil FS 0W-40 costs more than Castrol Edge 0W-40 at Walmart and likely online at Amazon. Castrol's 0W-40 is quite the deal right now, that's for sure. I've recently purchased 2 jugs, and plan to buy more this weekend. It's great oil at a bargain basement price as compared to other equal and lesser quality oils.And you can still buy Castrol Edge 5W-30LL on Walmart.com for only $21.62 or walk in and buy either Mobil 1 or Castrol 0W-40 for about the same. I’m not sure exactly what the fascination is with Gas and Truck, all the examples I noted carry far more stringent manufacturer approvals.
Unless it's out of stock, or hasn't been shelved yet, or someone from BITOG heard the same rumor and grabbed every container on the shelf, fearing a Rotella Apocalypse.It is easy, common sense.
If you see it at the store shelves, then it is still there which means not discontinued.
If you don't see it at the store shelves, then it is discontinued. In which case, you are out of luck.
Unless one of the BITOG hoarder want to sell it to you. LOL!!!
Have you kicked the tires on valvoline EP? Great dose of moly.Yup rotella gas truck is about dead and whatever you can find is nonsensically priced.
Sounds like you want a high anti wear additive oil. I do too so i pds creeped a lot to find some new oil for my new truck's first change and i stumbled upon Valvoline full synthetic high mileage.
There is no direct full synthetic non high mileage version since the regular version is just called advanced full synthetic. But the nice thing about FSHM is that all of the grades are packed and valv doesn't list it but they always have a good bit of moly in their oil. I would personally recommend you use the 10w-30 FSHM or 5w-30 adv syn. They're all basically the same lower end of the scale 10.5-10.8 kv100 so it's not a "thick" oil. There are 12.5 kv100 5w-30's out there. You can get FSHM 10w-30 off the Walmart shelf for $22 i believe. The 800ppm ph is the limit of api SP so Valvoline is pushing it which i like seeing and they've been honest since it comes back accurate on voa's

oh yeah i have but that stuff is never available and its $25 instead of $22. The only valvoline that's always sold out at my walmart. They have the regular full syn oil but it still has around 100ppm of moly instead of 300 like the extended protection but for what i can find near since half the shelf is empty the regular Valvoline will do. All Valvoline FSHM and extended protection viscosities have 940ppm zn and 800 ph while the 5w-20 and 10w-30 advanced full synthetic has less and the 0w-20 and 5w-30 in the advanced syn do have the higher pack which i find odd.Have you kicked the tires on valvoline EP? Great dose of moly.
