Hi guys,

I was at the auto parts store yesterday, and noticed that Shell Rotella is around $20/gallon. I also noticed it says it is "Full Synthetic". Is this a true (non petroleum base stock) synthetic like Mobil 1 or Amsoil, or is it like Castrol Syntec, which is more like super-refined petroleum oil?

Do you guys recommend it, how does it compare to other synthetic oils?

Shell makes both full syn Rotella and dino Rotella. Price you said is bout right for full syn. I tried it once on mine with 80k on the clock. I didn't like it my pressure droped to a little more than half of Dino( 40 with dino and 20 with syn at idle) I went back to Dino 1. it's cheaper and 2. have better PSI. It might not be something to worry bout but piece of mine for me to have better psi.
