Rotella T6

[colenighthawk]

What's the deal, hard to find.
WTF
My diesel trunk needs an oil change

… The shelves are starting to appear empty again… And not just from motor oil…

DEF is also getting hard to find.

About three weeks ago I ran across this with Delo400 15w40. To the point none was showing available in the system, not just the individual store...NAPA, AutoZone and O'Reilly. This is not normal...it's pretty damn frightening honestly.

I buy Pegasus 1000 by the barrel, and the last few times we've had to wait 6 weeks for delivery. A year ago our supplier had it in the warehouse.

 

[tejota]

I also had a heck of a time finding Rotella T5. They seemed to stock some T4 but most stores just said hard to find right now.

If you all would just buy electric vehicles you wouldn’t have this problem.

 

[Terminal Velocity]

been that way here in Salt Lake for 6 months. Found some Conventional Motorcraft 5-30 for my Ford Diesel and did it that way for this go around. I've been watching a lot lately in the stores to see if i can pick some up. May have to just go the order online route. A lot of people have mentioned to check Home Depot as a source as well.

I've been looking for t6 15-40 also...... nobody has it.. even 3 of the larger "jobbers" in the 100-mile radius area don't have it......... I've found a couple or single bottles here and there, but I keep looking......... the Shell Jobber in our area told me the t-5 has most* of the same ingredients in it so mixing isn't an issue. just the synthetic ratio's
might be slightly less. (t-5 was something like 50% and t-6 was 70%) some relationship like that. don't quote me.....

Start using valvoline Blue Premium - Oil temps have always ran a lot cooler with it.

I run it in everything - Lawnmowers - Truck - Tractor - Boat

 

[mjc]

I have been ordering my oil through Orielly's with the email coupon I get as soon as I use it so it should be here before I need it again.

 

[ka0tyk]

You need t6? T4 is at Home Depot by the pallet only $13.

Hummm me thinks I should check the oil in my trucks Trunk ?

Cuz i didn't know i had one

 

[bilz]

All the auto parts stores look like a third world country. Had to go to three places to get enough anti freeze. Even the grocery stores still many bare shelves. Never thought I'd see this in America.

 

[Yoshiro]

Can't find T5 in 10W 30 for my Ram cummins either. Luckily I have enough for this round coming up before DS, but I need to find more.

OEM fuel filters for the new Ram cummins are 2 months out also.

 

[TPC]

Maybe Walmart and buy a couple years worth.
Forget quarts.

RV Shit tank chemical scarce too.

 

[OCMerrill]

I run Valvoline Premium Blue in my 2018 Cummins and Lucas 15w-40 high zinc in the 2004 Cummins and both 5.9 Cummins in the boat.

No problem finding any of it but the prices are indeed up by 20% or so.

 

[NicPaus]

Oreillys had 1 big jug on hold in the back. $70 . Searched several stores. Use it in the Cat skidsteer.

 

[endobear]

I started looking when I'd stop at place that I knew carried it 3 months ago.
No luck. Searching all autoparts stores on line near me I found one advanced autoparts that had some.
When I picked it up the counter dude said I got the last 4 gallons advanced had in Denver.
Been using t6 in my truck for 20 years. Never been hard to find.

 

[spectra3279]

Not sure the t#. But I run plain old Rotella straight 30 in my 03 dodge. With some oil stabilizer. Haven't looked yet. But imagine it's gonna be hard to find.

 

[Mototrig]

Found a guy local selling gallon jugs for $40 each. Parked behind a good will waiting to make a drug deal as I type this.

Jeez is this what it has come to? Are we gonna Mad Maxx the oil and fuel in 6 months?

after seeing how these clowns handled toilet paper in 2020, nothing would surprise me at all

 

[dribble]

I just use the stuff that Costco sells.

 

[JDub24]

Where is that at?

 

[JDub24]

Oriley auto parts online.

Where is that at?

 

[Nanu/Nanu]

If your not afraid to use amsoil it's reasonably priced and if you pay $20 for the year you get %25 off then if you order $500 throughout the year your next year is paid for.

Oriley auto parts online.

[02HoWaRd26]

Well at least we still have toilet paper.

 

[FreeBird236]

Well at least we still have toilet paper.

I guess you got your Frantz oil filter covered.

I have been pulling some excellent Blackstone Labs reports using it in my 2018 Cummins truck. I feel its a good alternative.

 

[Yldboyz]

Sams had it, I was there this weekend and its gone.
