That is one sexy A$$ red container!

I don't understand: Why compete with your own products PP & PUP?
VOA would be interesting.

I used to buy Rotella T6 in five gallon jugs for my diesel, may have to start grabbing it again.

Rotella has a great name, brand recognition right there.

Clearly they are going right at Motorcraft, lol.

I have no doubt that it’s not a great oil for some vehicles but unfortunately my ole lady’s cooking oil probably has more moly in it.

Yeah, but I can't find 5W-20 Rotella Truck in anything but 5 qt containers. Had to buy two and measure out 2 qts from one of them. Interesting discovery: Went to PIQA website to see how much moly is in the Rotella. Got interested in comparing it with QSUD. The additive pkg appears to be identical between QSUD and Rotella "truck" 5W-20; almost identical moly, phosphorus, calcium. and magnesium, and the viscosity, volatility, and TBN also match up within experimental limits.
I think SOPUS is pulling a marketing stunt here, putting the same oil under different labels. I guess the idea is to capture extra sales out of the truck market. Well, they caught me! Probably just going back to QSUD since I can get it in 1 qt bottles.

I just put it in my truck after seeing it did have moly on voa I saw published. I'd much rather have 5 quart jugs, much cheaper usually. Plus over the course of an oil change interval, I will add a quart or two, meaning I will end up using almost all of it.

Yep..me too in my suzuki c90. T4 & t6 blend

I guess we should just call it qsud/rt&g.

I like 5 qt jugs too, but since the hemi takes 7 qts that leaves you finding a way to measure out two more. I used a kitchen measuring cup, the most convenient thing I could find.
My main point was that Rotella looks like the exact same product as QSUD in a different bottle.

How much moly does the Rotella have. I now use pup and lube-tex biolube with good results.

Rotella truck and gas has the same moly as qsud, both shell products about 175ppm moly, rotella diesel oil has low moly in their latest formula according to pqia.
