Shell probably refused to take a beating from Wally World. They tend to gouge their vendors.....some into bankruptcy.......as they get bigger and bigger.

$16.99 @ fleet farm- but that was a few weeks ago. iif it is up to $22 @wallyworld then it would be worth my time to drive 3x further to get it cheeper.

Its been yanked from everywhere I have seen. Next will be Mobil1.

Forced induction says rotella synth is crap and not synthetic (group 3 oil?). Since he has put the flamesuit on more than any of us I'll listen to him.

I used rotella synthetic in my sdl and it leaked right out, When I switched to conventional rotella no more leaks no more problems.
