I hope She'll gave them some decent specs to build the filters to, so as to not risk messing up all the customer goodwill they have built with the Rotella brand over the years. I actually think this is a really smart move on Their part, if they get it right

It's like watching a drama flick having to hear about it all the time.yucky and depressing.
Anyway I don't think the awareness or perceived awareness (which ever it really is) is really effecting them. People buying em left and right and still other companies having them make filters for them. Possibly shell now. Lol u guys aren't making enough noise outside of bitog I guess =)
Good point.

I grabbed one up and will try to cut it open tonight...
A quick perusal of the application card did not reveal any cataloged petrol applications... There do not appear to be a ton of part numbers.
They do have cross reference information on the box.

The rto 177 cost 9$ more than motorcraft and its made by the same people right? I think I'm out on these.... maybe if it were filled with Chuck Norris sweat or a cyclops unicorn Pegasus blood or something

Not a $7.00 filter in my opinion.

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to notice our latest product offering, Shell Rotella oil filters! The new line of high-quality Shell Rotella oil filters were introduced earlier this month and are designed to help reduce engine wear and promote longer engine life. The filters can be used with engines that require conventional or synthetic engine oils, such as Shell Rotella T Triple Protection, Shell Rotella T5 or Shell Rotella T6. The new line of diesel oil filters can be purchased at AutoZone locations nationwide, with further distribution anticipated for 2016. – The Shell Rotella Team
Thanks for all the information on Shell filters and Rotella T

Now please answer Garak's question.

Might pick one up, cut it open, & compare it to one of the $2 Puro made ProLine filters in my stash-bet there's ZERO difference.
When I pushed my finger against a Purolator made Bosch media pleat near the base, it tore fairly easily. The can was thin at .013-.014", and the ADBV was off kilter on the neck of the end cap. The pleats were .4" deep. The ADBV also does not fit snugly on the baseplate center, allowing the element to move sideways. Other than that, it was a great looking filter I am happy I did not use. How about this one?
