I posted this in the oil discussion thread but thats been running but I thought a new thread maybe read. Those that use Rotella, Sams Club has Rotella T6 on sale 3 gallons $67 and T4 3 gallons $54. Best price I have seen for some time.

 

Damn, I just bought one (1) gallon of from AutoZone for 34.99..

 

That's about $1 per gallon less than the per gallon Walmart price. The 2.5 gallon jug through Walmart is on sale and equates to the same price as Sam's club, per gallon.

Sam's= $22.33/gallon (67÷3)
Walmart= $23.48
Walmart 2.5g= $22/gallon (55÷2.5)

 

Auto parts stores are unreal with how expensive their oil is. Sometimes you can land a deal but otherwise your paying 5-12 bucks more sometimes.

They sell 2.5g jugs of T6 in 5W40? I haven't seen those at Wally Word. I think Tractor Supply will have them from time to time. Home Depot is a sneaky solid spot to get T6, usually within a buck or two of Wally World but they will usually actually have. My local blue box of death has been hit or miss.

 

Maybe because I can't store alot of oil in my mobile lifestyle, when it comes time to do an oil change I just go to Wally and buy T6 and a filter and not worry about price. The diesel only gets changed once every 10 months +/-. So what if it’s a buck or 2 a jug more. When it's needed it’s needed. I did try carrying oil when purchased at a cheaper price then something in the truck pokes a hole in the jug now I lost money and get to clean the mess off of everything it was near.

 

I gave up the Sams membership 5 years ago. When I was building a customer near a Costco. So I have a costco membership now. Just can't see paying for two memberships. And I really dislike the local Walmart, So I've been buying my Oil at NAPA. They have the Valvoline Premium Blue 5-40 Synthetic on Sale about every other month, Maybe every third month. And back when oil was hard to find. They still had gallon jugs I could buy. So I've been using it for the past 5 years. Nothing against Shell Rotella. Used a lot of it in my 2000, 2003, 2006, 2011 trucks

 

Not sure how often Wally has the 2.5g, the only place I have actually bought that size was at Tractor Supply (when on sale). Between posting last night and now, the 2.5g at Wal-Mart for $55 is sold out. Home Depot has been a pretty reliable source for the T6, cliser to me, and like you say, usually priced pretty close to Walmart.

 

I was at Wally yesterday in Richfield, UT getting a jug of DEF and saw T6 5w40 & 15w40 full synthetic at the same price.

 

15 years or 500k miles Guaranteed* I wonder what the fine print says to back up this statement?

 

 

Thanks for looking into this. The requirements look pretty reasonable to me. I'm assuming this excludes seals and gaskets and only covers internal moving parts?

 

There was a couple other Q&A but it didn't look out of the ordinary if a person is religious with maintenance and records. 15 year and 500,000 miles is pretty stout.
