so im looking for 5w-40 rotella synthetic or 5w-40 valvoline synthetic. where do you buy yours? ive seen the mobil 1, but for $5+ a quart... no thanks. they have reg. 15w-40, but im looking to switch for the upcoming cold weather. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

 

I get all of my oil from the local Costco, regular rotella for my rig and mobil 1 for my wifes saturn. They have the best prices around here on oil hands down. I'm not sure if they have rotella synthetic or valvoline synthetic or not, but it's worth a look if you have one nearby.

 

Rotella Synthetic at the local Walmart for about $16 a gallon.

 

i got valoline at advanced auto parts.

 

synthetic? they only have the 15w-40.

 

ya sorry i am running 15w40

 

x2. IT is still CI-4+ rated too! Which is considered better for us non-07.5 guys.

 

Read over on TDR Jhardwick and others have run the CJ NEW OILS 25,000+ miles with the same good UOA's they had on the Ci4+ oils they used... I think they used the Rotella Triple Protection

 

I have used it too. (triple protection vs. the old Rotella) My UOA came back with a TBN of 5.9 vs. 9.9 after 5000 miles. Im going to retest again when I put 5000 on the Rotella Synthetic 5w40 that I just switched to. This article over on TDR doesn't rate the Triple T or any other CJ Blend very highly. http://www.turbodieselregister.com/TDR57_Oil.pdf

well found a store that carries it but after doing my homework im wondering what to run... the truck is just about to hit 60k. so do i run 15w-40 premium valvoline, 15w-40 rotella or do i get the synthetic 5w-40 rotella? decisions decisions.

 

I get it at NAPA. Sometimes they have to order it, but it's there the next day. Valvoline told me NAPA is an approved dealer, but not all NAPA seem to have it. Good luck, it's great stuff. Iv'e been poor lately so I blend it one gal PB Extreme to 2 gal PB. Good luck.

Just get the Rotella Synthetic at WallyWorld. The price is right....
Do they even have WalMarts in your part of the world???

 

I was hoping the new CJ4 oils were doing a little better than that...

 

My cummins dealer has the synthetic valvoline.
