Well, I have some M1 coming from Auto Zone on a super discount and free shipping. If it has both listed, I'll just return it to the local store and drive .5 miles down the road and get the PBE at NAPA for $5 less a gallon. Thanks Dave...

 

Yea, I wish I knew that NAPA carried the Valvoline. I would have bought that before the delo400 synthetic (10 gallons worth). I just hate running all over town to find that one specific thing. down right chaps my azz....

 

Rodney, double check the "list" from Ford. Maybe autozone is on the approved list

Might want to "order" it online as the local NAPA didn't stock many of the PBE 5w40 one gallon containers. Order it and have them notify you when it is ready for pickup.

 

My local NAPA stocks the 1 gallon PBE. At $18.99 it's a much better deal than their usual $31.99! I'm going to stock up next week after returning my $24 a gallon M1.

 

found the old rotella at amazon...

 

Amazon doesn't update their pages very often. I would bet that if you ordered, you'd get the new bottle...

 

That, and there is discussion in the other oil thread here that Shell started putting the CK-4 into the old CJ-4 jugs prior to 12/1/16 without labeling it as ck-4. Honestly this whole thing is a proverbial mess. Ford says "don't use unapproved ck-4 in the 6.7" yet, how would the majority of public even know?

 

I just ordered from amazon and received the "old" bottles cj4 only. I was worried that it would be the updated bottles but it wasn't or I would have returned them

 

The new bottles list CJ4 only too lol. Dave is right. It's a mess...

 

Yep... This oil thing really frosts me too... At least we know what to look for.

 

Is there any way to date code the bottles to see when it was made?

 

Its possible I'd imagine. I never really looked. I only look at the milk expiration date...hahaha.

 

So what is this crap here? Rotella t-6 is not approved by ford now? I just bought some to change oil this weekend, it says cj-4. Why is ford not putting it on their list?

 

There is some really generic crappy oils on there, how can arguably the #1 selling synthetic oil not meeting fords standards.
