Shell Advance 4T Ultra Update

that oil not available in the USA

Submitted a request via the Shell form and received a reply. More importantly I obtained a contact template for getting to the heart of the availability. The gentleman from Shell stated the oil is available (see below) if you want to call and hassle them the telephone numbers are: Purchase Shell Lubricants Products - 800-237-8645

comment-enquiry:
Is this product available in the U.S., or what is the direct alternative?
 
Its unavailable in the Usa...Maybe Canada too??

The 15w-50 grade is now available in the US as of just recently.
Prior to this, the 10w-40 grade was available on a limited basis.
 
Just because your not running shell doesn't mean your screwed. I really don't get the obsession with this issue. I run motul v300. Why? Because it's good and available. Is one better than the other? If you own a perk&emler mass spectrometer and a GC gas spectrometer let me know what you find.

On another note I was a chemistry major in college before going to aviation and I have worked for the world's largest oil company for 24 years. I think I can speak with some experience about oil. I sleep fine at night not running shell oil....lol.

Thank you! Someone who has an understanding in the subject matter and doesnt look to google for knowledge:rolleyes:
 
Someone told me 300v motul was really to run few heat cycles like for race weekend. It not for putting 3k miles on the bike then changing that what motul 7100 is for.
 
I would thing that any of the oils mentioned would be fine. Unless you are one of those morons that uses the rev limiter as a horn.:)
