Shell Rotella Gas Truck

[GaryPoe]

I wanted to post this on the Shell Rotella Gas Truck synthetic engine oil Q&A if a Moderator would oblige. Found it at Walmart and it is competitively priced as they said it would be. They have it at eye level too!

It's a manly looking oil jug.
Will garner much respect from the public as you place it on the check out belt.

If you look closely you will see that thread was locked.

Go ahead and search the VOA threads, I did a VOA on all three variations of RGT. It's nothing spectacular IMHO.

I tend to want to spend a couple bucks more for higher PAO in Mobil 1 Extended Performance or AP, but, hey, this is a good Shell product, good for about any non-German gasoline engine with those specs. Priced well.

Nothing manlier than a full-size pickup, towing at max capacity! Err, um, I mean an '18 center-console "dinghy"....lol

Dude, which thread are you in!? What exactly is your agenda, newb, with 144 posts?

Are you implying that Shell products never get negative posts and completely useless marketing posts for other companies' products don't happen here?

Here is Gas Truck against other Shell owned products. I guess you can decide for yourself. It does have more moly than the others.

Ok.

I have it in my Frontier now. Thought I would try it because it has decent levels of moly, zinc and is on the thick end of the 5w30 scale. My truck does haul a small travel trailer and spend time off road in the Nevada desert. I'll run a used oil analysis at the oil change and see how it does. No complaints so far.

My Walmart had it for about a month or two, they don't seem to have it anymore. Guess that means nobody bought it.

Saw tons of it at my local TSC. IIRC it was $30 for the 5qrt jug. For that price it should be 6rts and have a bigger boat on the label. Most modern trucks take more then 5qrts. They should up the size to 6 or go down to 1gal like the hdeo's.

I put it in my Tahoe for its second oil change. It seemed to have quieted the engine somewhat. Still trying to determine if it was just new oil or it was actually this oil. I'm not one to try to stretch out my oci. I change my oil every 5,000 miles come he'll or high water.
