| Shell Rimula X seasons | |
The 1992 Shell Rimula-X season was the 8th season of the franchise in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
The Shell Rimula-X Turbo Chargers took home the First Conference crown with a 4–1 series win over San Miguel Beermen. Winning coach Rino Salazar won his first title as a coach and seven-time Best Import Bobby Parks delivered the second championship to the Shell franchise, winning it "officially" this time and victory was complete.
April 21: Shell advances in the finals of the First Conference, 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: First Conference champions Shell Turbo Chargers roared to a 132-114 win over Presto Ice Cream in a rousing debut 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.
During the Third Conference, the Turbo Chargers were on a verge of a semifinals seat 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 advance in the next round and were ousted by San Miguel Beermen, 102–115, in a playoff game on November 8.
