Never mind him Steve .................like hiz wheels he's a lil slow

O I saw the definately there bit ............just needed to ensure
that anyone else that reads your mumbles does not assume
it's not available just because you didn't find it on the Shell
Corporate Site

In fact I PM'd DeanO and the Twins to let them know about it

No worries, steve...
I'll explain it.

I posted this at 10:18pm:

I originally thought Rimula also, sprock, as that is the big non N.A. brand. Website didn't list it as going to the UK, but it's definately there.
Then he goes off at 10:19 (one minute later) about how they have Rimula in the UK and I'm wrong... blah blah blah.

Then I told him to re-read the posts and times.... and to kiss my ***.
Which he should be kissing right about now....

Oh I'm not arguing with you one bit .......you are right

I just had to make things somewhat more clear as to the fact it's very readily available
LINK TO ACTUAL UK PDF ON THE PRODUCT LINE IN THE UK & IRELAND

Funny thing is Shell HQ in Ireland is like a mile from the family homestead



Indiana you are going to injure yourself someday with all those smileys

You are like the Edward Scissorhands of Smileys........lol

Just remember not all oils are the same.

Rotella in one country can be a completely different blend than Rotella in another.

Also you do now have to be wary of some Diesel Oils. Some of the latest Spec ones are now listed on the bottle or in Brochures as "Energy Saving"

This means it has friction modifiers.

I think Rotella T is only available in North America and is all the same as far as I know. I've never heard of different types of Rotella T.
Rimula is the overseas diesel stuff made by Shell. I'd be looking closely at the labels and spec sheets on it, though. Many different Rimulas with different additive packs.

Ok, I read this and now I'm a genius.

Great info though. I even found confirmation that I have a wet clutch!

But here's a real question that was brought up earlier. How much longer (percentagewise) is it safe to use synthetic? Any at all?
