Shell Rotella users
Hoping for a good response here. Who's using it, for how many miles, and any CLUTCH problems, e.g. dragging, noisy engagement when hot?

I have only got about 1000 miles since my last oil change with Rotella, seems to shift cleaner with no problems.

You have it wrong --
Shell's are Cavatelli, rotini (plural of rotella) are the short spirally pasta.
I have no real preference, as long as they're cooked al dente. As for the sauce, I tend to stay away from the alfredo and cream sauces and lean towards the marinaras or just a little olive oil with a lot of garlic basil and onions.

Doc - I was wondering if you have a preference in wine with any of those gastronomical delights? Also, I'm not sure your allowed to pluralize toward!

I replace the Mobil 1 10w40 Synthetic with the Shell Synthetic about 1500 miles ago. No noticable change in transmission or clutch preformance...so far so good. The product gets such rave reviews @ half the price....its worth the change.
