Oil price thread
Check me before a make a major investment in several gallons of Mobil Delvac 1300 Super SAE 15W-40. Reason: Currently on sale at O'Reilly Auto Parts Stores. $12.99/gallon; but buy one, get one free. It's been a long time since I've seen any oil at $1.62/quart. I've been using Shell Rotella T and paying $49.99 for a 5 gallon pail.
Question: These two oils are close enough in properties to switch back and forth with no issues, right?

I've now corrected 14 to 15 twice and discovered my keyboard 5 is sometimes electing to register as a 4.
No response to the original question: Any reason not to switch between Delco 15W-40 and Rotella T 15W40? $25.98 for 4 gallons (2 free limit) and the above link for rebate is $14.00 for 4 gallons. If they honor that, that's really cheap oil at $11.98 for 4 gallons.

Thanks for the tip.
I picked up 4 cases for the price of 2.  One store was out of the Delvac, so they sold me Delo 400 for the same price.

Rotella T 5-40 $19/gal today at Walmart.
I bought 2 gals and it should have been 3 since the Cummins is due for a change and it takes near 12 qts!
