Rotella T6 (5W-40) in Australia... Where?

[dirtydannyd]

Does anyone from Aust (Melbourne) know where to buy the new Shell Rotella T6?

I had a look on the Australian Shell website and they don't even have rotella listed.

Was thinking that a 20 litre container would be great. Save buying different oils for bike and car.

Cheers,

Dan

Hi Dan.
I am not sure about Rotella 5w-40.i havn't seen it any where.Why dont you try Mobil Delvac 1 5w-40 instead?

Doug Hillary might be able to give some insight too. He'll be back next week or the week after, I think.

Shell's HDEO's go by the name Rimula here

Last time I enquired on Rimula Ultra 5W-40 four or more years ago it was over two times the price of Delvac 1 !

Things may have changed since then, Shell may have sharpened their pencils. I've even stopped using Delvac 1, I'm now using Penrite Diesel SP, a 10W-40 Low SAPS Euro diesel engine oil that is significantly cheaper than D1 and appears to be working well (so far) I believe it's a GIII/ester blend.

I did see a new Rimula in Repco last week. Maybe a new bottle etc.
