Rotella 15w40 $7/gallon at...Home Depot???

I was there today buying some stuff and just happened to walk down an isle that contained auto products. Didn't even know they sold that kind of thing. I noticed Rotella gallons near the floor. Than, I noticed the price: $6.97...WHAT?!! Might want to stock up, folks.

Sams club sells rotella in boxes of 6 1-gallon jugs for about $42/43, around $7 a gallon, so its pretty close to the same. Autozone is about $8.40 a gallon or something if you buy them individually.

Wow! I bought two gallons at Kragen today for the 300. Delo and Rotella were both $7.99 a gallon.

I did two oil changes today, one with Delo and the other with the Rotella. Rotella definately has a distinct odor difference compared to other motor oils. I personally like it.

Try the blue bottle of Rotella synthetic... It smells different yet, and leaves a completly different stain on the driveway/valve cover

Yup, I've been buying my oil at Home Depot for some time now. Not a bad deal.

The Home Depot here (Santa Rosa, California) does not have Rotella and they have no indications in their computer that they will ever have it. The two posts that said it was at Home Depot were Canton (Ohio?) and Arlington, Texas. Perhaps it was a local purchase. I'd like to call Home Depot's national office (Atlanta, 800-553-3199). Does anyone have the sku# from the Rotella?

Wow! thats a good price. It may soon be a cheaper fuel than diesel in the North West.
