Title: Smitty"s Supply Products
Post by: Falconguy on March 13, 2020, 11:24:57 am
I had my oil changed at FOT recently and noticed on the bill that instead of using Delo 400 they had serviced the engine with 15W-40 Super S Syn Blend CK-4.    A little research shows this to be from Smitty's Supply in Roseland,LA . Smitty's Supply, Inc. (http://www.smittysinc.net/about/facilities/)      It appears to me that that they may be repackaging Shell products under their name.  Can anyone confirm this?    Also I can not find this oil at any of the retailers in my area, does anyone know where I can get some?  Thanks

Why do you think it's Shell?

"Repackaging for Shell, Pennzoil, Castrol, Quaker State, Chevron and Texaco

Private Label/ contract blending and packaging"

Have them ship you some,did you notice this after you were gone, thinking you should have got some extra while at FOT.How much
did they charge you for the oil?
Sounds almost like a brother in-law deal.

Why do you think it's Shell?      Just a guess Travelin' Man .        If you click on the little chat box in the bottom right hand corner it opens and has a Shell logo on it.    Product description reads a lot  like Shell Rotella T5.    Other than that I'm not sure.

John44  oil came from a bulk tank (unmarked) right next to the Delo 400 bulk tank that has been there for years.  I thought I would be able to find it locally. So far no luck.

Really wish someone would let me have some input BEFORE changing my type/brand.
