Right.  Shell Rotella T, 10W40 at WallyWorld.  Meets all our specs,
cherap, and available everywhere there's Sam Walton's footprint.
(IOW, everywhere.)

And Shell probably has more petroleum chemists in one refinery than
Amway has in total.  But I've always thought that Amsoil was mostly a
scam to double the price of a product.  JMHO.

Oh, my advice:  get thee down to WallyWorld and buy Rotella T 10W40
for the whole fleet.  Skip the MLM stuff.
