“Shell is unique in having this product and they are not selling it to others and it will make a great motor oil, there’s no doubt about it,” said Stephen Ames, managing director for SBA Consulting, which consults for the lubricants and refining industries. “Will it be better than other people’s motor oil remains to be seen.”

Should have read the posts first.

I didn't know that Shell owned Pennzoil? I've been using Pennzoil synthetic in my car since new. I use Castrol synthetic in my pickup. I'll probably be switching the car over to Castrol (BP) until the verdict is in on the new oil.

Pennzoil and Quaker State are two of Shell’s motor oil brands.
