Not trying to throw out anything that might have been already but wanted to get your opinions on these changes.
I'm in the speculation that Shell is in the process of reorganizing it's HD product lines as our vehicle purchases have shifted. As we all have seen the 15w-40 T6 replace the 5w-40 T6 on the retail shelves. I'm beginning to think that in order to position the T6 for HD Diesel market they've changed to 15w-40. A very common HD Diesel weight. They've positioned the T6 to also not be the go to for gas engines with the ck-4 change api specifications?.
Trucks & SUV's are the new craze & with the oil cost at all time lows this was expected. This trend will continue to follow low gas costs. So, they knew they were going to position the newer HD Gas Engine Oil option in order to differentiate the 2 HD Oil markets.
I'm in a firm believe this change is good as they will recipe the oil for Gas a bit different than diesel. We all just don't throw 30 Weight in all our motors anymore. ha ha
What say you?...
