Public service announcement :ok:

As much as this seems like it's no big deal, Aeroshell now comes in a RED container, so your Huile Aviation Aeroshell W100+ comes in red.

This red bottle is not "red band" oil.

I thought I'd mention it as peoples reserves run dry and they are replaced with the red ones! (You'd be surprised how many people this has screwed around)

I believe its now owned by someone new too, not Shell anymore, heard all AU staff gone.
Assume formulation hasnt varied.
Was significant work done to approve wider use of Sports Plus 4, plans now dead

Where have you been?

Happened at least a year or so ago. ;)

Since they started turning up lately with French writing and red drums I notice the quantity per bottle/drum has decreased somewhat. Probably some sort of new Euro quart/litre deal.

Surprised to hear that Jabba: We've only had the red stuff in Vic for perhaps several months.

They did rename it Huile Aviation a fair while back though.

Come to think of it, pretty sureI saw them at OSH last year.

Easier with AeroShell - Shell Global (http://www.shell.com/global/products-services/solutions-for-businesses/aviation/aeroshell/products/easier-with-aeroshell.html)
