[Vwdiesel] Re: [Audi-VW-Diesels] Rotella Synthetic oil, cheaper now!

[Chance Vought]

Karl,
Just informing you that there has been alot of discussion about the
"Synthetic Rotella" at Walmart.  Just plug the word rotella into
Fred's forums.  You'll see the discussion on this "Synthetic" oil,
the discussions are different than the dino Rotella.  Fred's forum
also indicates for some reason Shell is only distributing this new
oil at Walmarts.
