Notable dates

April 21: Shell advances in the finals of the First Conference by scoring a 133-100 rout off San Miguel Beer in the last day of the semifinals, leaving the Beermen and the Alaska Milkmen in a playoff to dispute the other finals slot.

June 9: Shell Rimula-X roared to a 132-114 triumph over Presto Ice Cream in their first game in the All-Filipino Conference.

June 18: Shell escaped with a 97-96 win over Purefoods in the battle of early leaders to take solo lead in the All-Filipino Conference with three wins without a loss.

October 8: Import Steve Colter scored 50 points in leading Shell to a 114-98 win over San Miguel in his farewell game. Colter played five games and led the Turbo Chargers to two victories. The nine-year NBA veteran will be replaced by the comebacking Kelvin Upshaw, who played for Swift last season.

Occurrences

During the Third Conference, Shell was one win away from a semifinals berth when import Kelvin Upshaw was found positive on a random drug test conducted and was banned by the PBA. Upshaw was replaced by Jason Matthews in their last two games and Shell lost a chance to make it to the next round and were eliminated by San Miguel Beermen in the playoff game on November 8.
