Bought 4 gallons of Rotella T6 synthetic today at Wal Mart for $19 a piece. Price keeps going down.

take a walk down memory lane...

I got mine a couple weeks ago for $19 too. Awesome price! And diesel is down to 2.82 around here. Times are good.

A good price for a good synthetic. It is still a Group III base stock albiet a good one. Here's an interesting thread on it that's a little more technical:
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=846025
And I just hate going to wallyfart.

Amsoil 15w-40 diesel marine oil is still $23.85 in gallons, just a bit more. Of course there's shipping on that. That's what my diesel got, I still like my PAO base stocks. Will end up being an annual oil change, I expect mileage in the 4-5K range for the year. On a side note, I'm about a thousand miles in on my first change, zero consumption. Nice!

As mentioned in the thread reference, if you're going to use an extended OCI get an oil analysis at 5-6K and change the filter.
