Review: Great oil at a great price - I switched to using this oil after reading many positive reviews on different motorcycle forums. I use this for the 1970s Honda CB750s that I own and I have had no issues. The price is great and it is easy to find either on desertcart or other big box stores for about the same price. No need to spend double the price on other oils when this one meets all of the specs for my classic bikes.
Review: Great product and good pricing. - I use this in my 2006 Chevy 2500HD and it works great. Engine runs smoothly and works like it should I tow an RV and this holds up well under those conditions. I change it about every 7500-10000 miles.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This is not Synthetic oil**
A: No.   Dino oil for real.    And I'm assuming that is a question in imperitive format, lolsies.

**Q: In what way is the new formulation better than the original and is it worth the additional cost?  I have a Scania/Yanmar diesel in a lobster boat.**
A: The new formula was designed to better withstand higher temperature generated by new low emission engines. You can find a Shell technical white paper here comparing to the previous formula:

**Q: "shell rotella 550019913-3pk".  is it reguler t not t4?**
A: This is Shell Rotella T4 Triple protection.

**Q: is this price for 3 gallons? Im reading 3pk and under the impression that means 3 gallons. Could you clear this up please**
A: Friends:The 3pk means three plastic bottles of one gallon each in one cardboard box....  So you end up with three gallons.  We use this stuff in our John Deere tractors at our Ranch in the remote Sangre de Cristo mountain range of Colorado at temperatures between -30 degrees Fahrenheit to + 85 degrees Fahrenheit.  There are two different weights and in winter the lower viscocity makes the tractor easier to start unless you plug in the engine block heater.We also use this stuff in our Ford F350 Diesel King Ranch pickup trucks.  My truck has 202,000 miles on the odometer and the engine starts and runs like new.  We change the engine oil and filter every 3000 miles.Google my name to Learn more.....Arthur von Boennighausen
