Shell Rotella-T Synthetic in 5W/40 weight..... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Mon, 14 Nov 2005 10:31:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I cruised every parts store in town this morning trying to find Mobil 1 5W/40 for an upcoming oil change. I was able to purchase a total of three quarts after visiting at least 5 stores, one of them being Wal-Mart!
While at Wal-Mart (and staring at the empty shelf space identified as the location for M1 5W/40) I noticed they sell Shell Rotella-T fully synthetic oil in the 5W/40 weight for only $14 a gallon. Mobil 1 is now almost $6/quart locally.
I know Rotella -T is intended as a deisel engine oil just as is Mobil's Delvac oil. I also remember postings speculating that Mobil 1's 5W/40 is actually re-packaged Delvac synthetic.
Is Rotella-T a good choice for our engines? I checked BITOG board and saw many gut feel recommendations for its use, but no hard data. Has anyone here used it?
Thanks, and I am still looking for one more quart of M1 5W/40.
