Rotella Gas Truck or QSUD?

[TrainingPolicy]

My question is exactly what the title is. I have a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe (2.4L) with 120k miles, I have been using QSUD and OEM filters for its changing since I purchased it at 100k. But Shell gas and truck is on clearance for $11 for 5 quart jugs and I have some speed perks. Do you think I should run a couple cycles with it since its cheap or just stay the course? Or does it even matter. lol Thanks!

I predict you're going to be told to stick with QSUD, told to switch to RGT because of the clearance prices and told it doesn't matter.

I would switch to Mobil Super Synthetic.

Either will be fine.. but I'm partial to QSUD.

Funny, that’s actually what I just put in it today for this oil change! I picked up some while it was on clearance at O’Reillys and wanted to see how it would stand up.

What makes you partial to QSUD? Since that kinda would be relevant to the post. Lol

Great question. I have the same dilemma. Here's my solution. I'm going to use a green funnel when I change with RGT and a red funnel when I change to QSUD. Both 0w-20 and my vehicle will never suspect a thing.

I think that’s a good idea

Engine will not care either way. Both are good oils and compatible with your engine. Sometimes life is easy.

Is it not the same oil?

 

[slacktide_bitog]

It doesn't matter, so just shop on price. So if the RGT is the cheapest, there is nothing wrong with using it

Go with the RGT, it's a solid oil. It's been speculated that it's just rebadged QSUD but I don't know for sure. PQIA tested the 5W-20 and it has very low NOACK.

Is RGT being discontinued for sure?

Either is fine business!

Take your pick, or whatever works out to lessen the impact to your wallet.

Is it the same oil? This is my first time hearing that.

It is being discontinued at AAP, but walmart and others are still showing it at regular retail. So it might just be leaving AAP/CQ.

Here is a comparison from last year along with some other Shell products.

It's cheap, it seems like good oil, heck, there is no reason to ever buy Supertech over RGT, so what are we missing? What's the downside of RGT?

Looks like that Rotella is alittle stouter than the QSUD, I don't see where the 're bottled' comes from.

I see the same thing. I think it was just some.speculation due to similar VOAs. I think that She'll doesn't really know how to market this oil. They pissed away a lot of money and sponsorship and advertising this oil. I think that selling it for $14.99 nationwide for the next 90 days land the make the price permanent at $17.99 would do wonders for them.

I agree. I thinks it a good product but they don’t know how to ‘use it’ and it causes it to collect dust on the shelf. So now, I’ll let it collect dust on my shelf.
