## Description

Product description Shell Rotella T 15W-40 Diesel Engine Motor Oil 5 gal. desertcart.com Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance.SAE 15W-40This oil has a weight of SAE 15W-40, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 15 in cold temperatures and a rating of 40 at normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for your vehicle.Conventional Motor OilThis oil is a conventional motor oil, meaning it is refined from crude oil or petroleum products. Conventional motor oils may or may not have additives included after refining. Conventional motor oils are more versatile than synthetic or hybrid motor oils, because they are suitable for use with nearly all types of modern vehicle engines, from cars and trucks to motorcycles, ATVs, farm equipment, and more.

Review: Good oil, bad delivery - Oil is an excellent product, but but the delivery was delayed several days delaying project, and the two drums were split up with the second arriving days after the first and ending up on the porch for a week
Review: Tough Enough for Turbocharged Engines - Shell Rotella T is one of the best oil bargains on the market, and has been for many years. I have quite a few motorcycles, many of which are turbocharged. The high heat and extreme rpm (over 180,000) of the turbo makes short work of marginal oil. Rotella T stands up to the gruelling challenge with flying colors. I use it in my 1987 Mustang GT, which now has over 160,000 miles on it and uses no oil between 2000 mile changes, and my 1987 Ford F150 pickup, with a 5.0, which has over 187,000 miles on it, and also uses no oil between changes. I have been using it for over a decade, and I could not be more pleased with this oil for any vehicle, two, three, or four wheeled. Buying it in a 5 gallon bucket is by far the most economical way to buy it. Simply save some quart and/or gallon containers to help make oil changes and adding oil between changes easier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I normally purchase rotellaT 15w40 from auto stores.It comes in a white jug. Is this the same product in a different package or is there a difference?**
A: If I remember correctly, the one I received was in a white 5 gallon bucket and not like the one pictured.  I have used both the white and yellow buckets, and they appear to be the same.  The yellow bucket I had received from an industrial supplier.  The white I have also purchased at Walmart.

**Q: Can I used it on gasoline motor?**
A: Yes, as far as I know.  You might confirm this by researching it on the internet.

**Q: thanks and other question. It's a triple protection (natural gas) or T4 (diesel).**
A: I don't have a pail in front of me, but I know it is good for gasoline and diesel motors.

**Q: What is the correct presentation of the product, 1 gallon or 5 gallon??**
A: The "1- 5 gal" designation is somewhat ambiguous.  I believe they are attempting to indicate this item consists of one 5-gal  pail.
