It was a regional thing, June can tell you why not to mix Shell and Mobil products in the a Florida market

Probably in 2006 also.

Ok I'll bite/retract. Volvo engineering works directly with Castrol. Edge is their 'top shelf' product, it goes without saying most any vehicle will be better off with premium oils

I just purchased one oil change worth and will compare it to the Rotella T6.
