Synthetic Rotella T!

My friend told me about it.. Synthetic Rotella T.. comes in a black jug (opposed to white) and he found it in his local walmart! $18/gal (opposed to $6). I couldnt find Delvac One anywhere.. maybe my walmart will have this stuff.

Of course, I have not been searching for Delvac One, but I have never seen it. I expect that the only place you will find it will be at Truck Stops and Mobil wholesale dealers.

In the small farm communities it's easy to find the Petroleum distributors. They sell on a wholesale basis, distribute fuel and lubricants to the dealers(filling stations) and farmers. I expect you can find it there and at a good price.

Good luck,

for information on SYNTHETIC BLEND (SB) Rotella in three weights .... there is also info on full syn 0-40 from Shell.

Other Shell sites seem to generally disparage synthetic and syn blends as being unnecessary. Weird, I would have expected any chemical company to perspective to be the same as others (Mobil seems to strongly favor syn oils) ... maybe there is a profit motive issue at work?

Amsoil makes good synthetics that you can order online at www.amsoil.com they're expensive though.
