We don't have current PQIA quality VOAs for anything other than QSGB and PYB, so I'm only speculating.


Need some more VOAs...pronto!

I'd like to see PUP in 0W20 [which they'll probably have] and 0W30 [which I have my doubts]. Time will tell.

I just have to say all this brand vacillation by Shell is exceedingly stupid. I have no problem with their product(s), but the all the name changing confuses people and can cast doubts on the product.


Yea probably in the short term. Many of us saw this happening when they released PU. Without any data, it's speculation as to how much they are really moving the product. By Walmart indication, they are not moving much. PP had a good, growing reputation.

Shell/Pennzoil is an excellent formulator/blender. Since Platinum, their oils have really been among the best.

This is definitely an exciting time I the world of motor oil. I gotta go look for some sales on PU.
