If you are driving a diesel and use Shell Rotella T6 all I can say is Good Luck finding it and when you do, you’ll pay a Kings ransom for it. I’ve searched every big box and auto parts store in the county including the Love’s Travel Plaza and Zip Nada Zilch! Quick search online reveals that this has been going on for at least the past week or two. What happened? Plant burn down? Workers quit due to COVID BS? Is it BRANDON’S fault? What’s the situation in your neck of the woods? ---------- “Nobody can ever take your integrity away from you. Only you can give up your integrity.” H. Norman Schwarzkopf | ||

Ship to store? https://www.oreillyauto.com/de...1?q=Rotella+t6&pos=0 I paid $30 for Mobil 1 5 qt jug that used to go for 25 or less. | |||

That’s 5w30 T6 which doesn’t meet the Ford spec for the 6.7 PS. The link OKCGene posted is to a current thread about the lack of T6 5w-40. Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme 5w-40 met the Ford spec before T6 did by about 2 years. It’s reported to be as good if not better than T6. | |||

It will sometimes be available online at Sam’s Club. Just check often as it will sell out fast! 5W-40 - 3 gallons for about 59$ | |||

safe & sound |
 I see some around from time to time. I'll let you know if I see any (and where) as I'm running around. | |||

Mobil delvac is better oil than the Rotella. Buy that instead. Saw plenty of it at Costco the other day. | |||

Another comparison to read. It never mentions the recent Ford requirements https://comparemotoroils.com/m...a-t6-vs-mobil-1-tdt/ "Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am." FBLM LGB! | |||

That article was written before the Ford spec existed as evidenced by the T6 in the article being listed as CJ and not CK. The Ford spec came about after CK spec oils became the standard. Also, that article was written by a bottle reader and contains no substantive content. In other words, the author read the manufactures’ marketing materials, then wrote an article. I found this particular quote “Shell Rotella synthetic diesel oil can last up to 500,000 miles or 10 years if used properly.” interesting when the author was talking about the oil change intervals each oil offered. | |||

trapper189 is correct! I bought the only 3 gallon jugs I could find within 25 miles of home. Hens teeth! And on sale too. Crazy.  "Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am." FBLM LGB! | |||

Agreed. I would like to thank you for helping me learn and understand so much more about oil than I ever dreamed possible. The technology behind today's oils is amazing. Thanks to everyone else who contributed to that in this thread as well. https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...935/m/7060064684/p/1 "Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am."

For those of you looking for T6 but are unable to find it at a reasonable price for their 6.7L Power Strokes you can get the Valvoline equivalent that is Ford approved for about $88 for 3 gallons. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X...dt_b_product_details I’ve used this before with great results. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

I use it in my 5.9L diesel and in my bike with a wet clutch as it carries the JASO MA and MA2 ratings. Shortages are definitely frustrating as are the pricing most places when it's available. ------------- $ | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
If you have a Costco near you, they sell Kirkland Diesel oil 3 gallons for $36, you can order it for delivery as well... Sure Sams Club has similar, Link | |||
|
| Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
I did a search and found it in a lot of places near me. If you don't live close to a location you can have it shipped. Since any vehicle you need it for now costs well over $50 grand, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

That's not a bad deal, but it's regular 15w40 oil which is easy to find. T6 is synthetic and the 5w40 in particular is in short supply. I notice a difference starting off in our 50 degree weather between the 15w40 I just put in and the 5w40 I was using. I sure the guys up north with actual cold mornings want 5w40. I used the Valvoline smlsig mentioned for the first three or four oil changes when my truck was new until T6 met the Ford spec. Then I used whichever of the two I could get the best price on. | |||
