Been scouring CDN tire in my area, no RGT 5w30 to be had anywhere? And word if there is a shortage? Or am I a victim of local oil hoarders?
If SOPUS pushed Rotella T6 MV, it would have just as much of a cult following as T6 5W-40.I think this product has been functionally discontinued. Haven’t seen it at Walmart, Tractor Supply or any automotive stores in the last 8 months it’s available online at an inflated price. I picked some up over the winter at Home Depot for 15 bucks a 5qt jug and they were from Q1 2019. You’d have an easier time finding Rotella T6 in 5w30 than RGT 5w30. Bummer as I liked the product.
HTHS is definitely higher. I think it’s a 3.5. I haven’t looked at a VOA/UOA recently for it. I know SOPUS says Napa and Advance can order it. I paid $70 for a case of 3 gallon jugs.How would the ROTELLA Multi-Vehicle 5w-30 be for the G.D.I. with carbon deposits ? Know it's thicker and may benefit with oil consumption .
Here's R.G.T. SP , GF-6 T.D.S. from 2020 , https://shell-livedocs.com/data/published/en/ad8987d4-1afd-4592-afec-8e7e0bf24b5a.pdf . Good luck finding it .I got some in 5W-30 for my G5 on clearance recently for $27 a jug.
All the stuff on the shelf is SN/SN plus; never seen it in SP
Texas blackout is still having ripple effects - Sherwin-Williams is still out of most of their paints, there’s also a plastics shortage too. Seeing how SOPUS has a bulk of their operations in the Houston/Baytown area, easy to see why.There is a shortage of Rotella T 15w40 bulk oil right now. Our supplier said Shell is having trouble getting additives for the oil.
Amazon is way too expensive, depending on which one they want over $30 for a 5 qt jug, I had it on subscribe and save to help with the cost but I'm not paying that much when other options are cheaper and more widely available.Other than not being on shelves, (can still buy on Amazon) has anyone found anything suggesting it's been discontinued yet?
I think Pennzoil Platinum Euro L 5w30 is looking like a close alternative. Anyone have any thoughts on this?Same here, it's why i've been trying to find a similar/viable alternative.
The L version? because of the specs? or because of the viscosity?I think Pennzoil Platinum Euro L 5w30 is looking like a close alternative. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
