Rotella T Blend as a 0w-30!

[Audi Junkie]

News to me, 11.3cSt, PP -45f, FP(D 92) 210c! CG-4.
Where the heck is this stuff for sale? This is the only 0w-30 semi blend I am aware of. (execpt Esso?) Another point, is this 0w-30 oil's base all G-III slack wax? 0w without esters?

Probably have to live in Canada to get this stuff. Maybe we can convince Patman to become a distributor of all the good oils they have up there?

I've never seen Rotella 0w30 up here, but we do have Rotella 0w40 synthetic.

PAO and Grp III? or PAO and Grp's II & III?

The 0w30 we can get from Canadian Tire is _probably_ the Rotella SB, since CT gets their oils from Shell.

I asked a Shell engineer about the Rotella Blends a couple of years ago. They don't use XHVI in the blends. They use PAO. The 0w30 is probably something like 50% PAO.
