Hmm, where are you again? I'm in Houston, and didn't find any at the two WM Supercenters near me. Bought a couple of the last 2.5g jugs of Delvac. It sure looks different from the Rotella. The color of Rotella is deep gold, very pretty, and this Delvac is much lighter, looks cheap, lol. That's the extent of my analysis, lol.

I loaded up on 8 gallons here -> https://www.homedepot.com/s/rotella%2520t6?NCNI-5

Not your likely place to find T6, and look at the price! It is about $10 cheaper than everywhere else.

I had a tough time finding T6 up here the last time I did an oil change - 3 WM supercenters, 2 O'reilly's, Autozone, then I finally found enough at NAPA to do the job.

Same problem finding rotella here in Jasper Ga also. No store had it anywhere around north Ga. I was getting frustrated because I wanted to change the oil before a trip and time was running out. My wife contacted our gasoline mechanic. He said he had stocked up on rotella. I sent my filter to him through her and he did the change. Do y'all recommend Archoil? I am new to diesel in general. I am used to two wheels.

Well, you know, they can't control what the producers do with the oil, they can only shut down the pipelines to them. If you think lumber is bad now ........

Dang, I was just in Miami. On the way home, I had a flat in Louisiana and was in the Walmart buying a plug kit and checked their stock - they had a couple of gallons of Rotella 30W and nothing else.

Have to say, Miami is a crazy town. I've been all over this country and never seen a town with so many horn honkers. I must have heard 20 the day I was driving around. I wouldn't hear 20 in a year here in Tx. Got honked at twice myself. Person can get killed doing that in some towns.

Not sure if this is a trend or not, but I'm a milk addict, and I've noticed a shortage of milk in small, individual bottles. Seems like there's plenty of gallons, but few pint-sized. They were out at 5 or 6 places I checked this week between Houston and Miami.

Went to Zaxby’s chicken place a few nights ago, they didn’t have any chicken! There’s no beef on the menu and the only pork is bacon as “topping”. Kinda like a auto parts store with no…parts.

Yeah everything is Trump’s fault, never O’biden...give me a break. Less than a year ago we were energy independent and now look where we are. I’m sick of people making excuses for this sorry fraudulent administration. I worked in Oil and Gas the last twelve years and my wife has been a nurse on the local covid floor since the beginning of this propaganda began. I’ve done more research than most and I’m not buying the crap the media is selling. It’s a power grab and has been in the works for a long time.
Schaeffer’s is not hard to get, I’m about to buy six gallons and do my 5k oil change.

Well said...some of us get it, and some of us don't. And yes, absolutely, it has been in the works for awhile. I personally feel like this is a fight for our lives. I'd be curious to know what your wife has experienced, but I don't wanna muck up another thread with COVID debates. I know what I saw personally and I figured out pretty quick in the beginning that we were being lied to.

Dang, were they selling fried breading? Why open the doors? Years ago, I thought it was weird when a steak restaurant was out of potatoes.

Oh, geezus, don't get me on Covid. Humanity has been constantly attacked by mutating viruses, literally millions of different viruses for hundreds of thousands of years non-stop. There are millions of viruses in, on and around each of us right now. We fought those viruses and won EVERY TIME without doing a damn thing - except fighting, and dying, and getting stronger. We now number in the billions, even with the "pandemic" we gained +30m in population last year.

The only thing that has changed with this pandemic is that the government has declared itself capable of saving everyone - if we just do as we're told, surrender our lives, freedoms, jobs, and assets, and let them stick needles into us anytime they want. And, predictably, nothing they've done has accomplished a damn thing. We have no freedoms, lost our good jobs, businesses, homes, savings, and got who-know's-what injected in us but people are still dying faster than ever, supposedly.

Every pandemic prevention measure taken has had the same goal, and only that goal: to preserve and grow the government. On an objective, rational, and logical basis that is the only explanation that produces the results we're seeing.
