[sprout]

Aye ah buy the blue bottle shell helix plus 10/40 oil yesterday and the price doubled. from $130.00 to $260.00 a gallon. any chance the price change 4 u 2.

[venum]

WTF ! Where you get hit with that?

I stop using blue bottle Shell and switch to full synth grey bottle, so I not aware of the price of the blue bottle any more

Last time I bought the blue bottle though was in May 2009 and paid ~ $130.00 per gallon

FT Farfan is the new distributor for Shell Lubricants, dunno if they increased the wholesale price, causing the retail price to increase, but by ~ $100.00 - thaz ridiculous

[JUS4SHO]

mobil tends to burn off with me and the high rev in in CS shell or nutten, even the local mitsubishi dealer switched to cheveron then Total i will continue to use shell products even if i have to import it in myself

[EVA Unit-01]

i usesd the Mobil 1 10W-30 in my car 1st oil change, then use d Shell Helix 5W-40; it work much better and i using it since then!

my last purchase was at LdG, but it gone up to bout $75 a quart. you could still get it for $65 if you check around.

[venum]

Since FT Farfan became the sole distributor prices went up

[Spitfir3]
