So went to buy some 5W40 Shell Rotella T6 Synthetic oil in the 1 gallon jug at Walmart and when I got it home noticed the plastic locking ring had already been sheared off... as in the bottle had been already opened. I went back to Walmart and checked their stock, five one gallon jugs on the shelf, one more had the broken seal and the other four were OK. I tried to explain to an employee in automotive that this is unacceptable and he just gave me a blank stare. Be forewarned and check for tampering, before purchasing check to see that the black locking ring is still attached to the cap, mine wasn't.
I don't know if this is limited to just this Walmart or there is a manufacturing defect at Shell with the lock rings but I want any oil I put in my motor factory sealed with no evidence of tampering. Shell no longer uses the aluminum foil secondary seal across the opening so anyone could've tampered with the oil.
Anyone else had this experience with the Rotella?
