Can't find oil!!
I've tried two Advance Auto stores so far but I can't find the Valvoline 5w-40 Synthetic on their shelves. Should I go to Autozone or somewhere else? They did have the Rotella T but I've read a few bad things and injector problems associated with it.

There are many, many people running Rotella T. There are no issues with it. There are rumors and accusations regarding Rotella T causing problems, absolutely no truth to any of them.

I run Mobil 1. I buy it from amazon. Running around to various parts stores to round up 15 quarts became a chore. Free shipping. Right now the Mobil 1 5w-40 TD Syn is $38.88 with a rebate for a 6 pack. No one around here can touch that price.

We run the Rotella 5W-40 in the unit in my signature line and the other 14 buses in our fleet.

Blue Diamond and Hot Shot's Secret
Blue Diamond is pure synthetic and not a blend. You can find it at Lubrication Specialties | Diesel Motor Oil | Primrose Engine Oil | Fuel Additives | Oil Additives | Engine Restore|
To avoid the injector issue...you can run the Rotella and add Hot Shot's Secret. It was designed and tested for the 6.0. You can find it on the front page of that site too.
Good Luck!
