online oil suppliers

Hey guys, got a quick question. The truck is approaching 15K and Im getting ready to change all the fluids. Ive spent some time searching for the best stuff to use and capacities but I was wondering if theres any place online that sells all the top brands.........Redline, Mobil 1, Amsoil, etc..... Just tryin to simplify things a bit.

(I know you can get Amsoil directly from the manufacturer, however, its not really my first choice)......not tryn to start another oil war or anything, I know all about how good they are, just cant spend that much money on oil.

Thanks in advance
Jeff

My cummins dealer over here does send me the oil (not really an online shop, ordering it by phone).
Can't help you on the others

Do a search for AVLUBE. They have Mobil Delvac synthetic and few others. Good stuff and the prices are good too.

In the "etc." category, and while not a full synthetic, Schaeffer's specialized lubricants offers online shipping. Their oils are para-synthetic, contain 20-25% PAO, and have a good track record in performance and extended drain interval service, at about half the cost of full synthetics.

Wholesale purchasing includes shipping charges.......I haven't found another oil company that offers this. They've also recently introduced a 5W-40 diesel oil.

Simply offering another option. No matter how you look at it, the 6BT Cummins is easy on it's lube oil, as compared to the V-8 competition.

Regards

My feeling is your engine will go a million miles on non-synthetic oil, save your money.
Use synthetics in your differentials only, you're stuck with ATF+4 in the tranny and transfer case if you want to keep your warranty intact.

yea, thats what I'm thinking after seeing the prices. I'm one of those people that like to change the oil around 3K (i know not really necessary) anyways.

thanks again
Jeff

o yea.........Ive heard such good things about Amsoil overall I figure Ill try it in the diffs. Which one should I choose? Univeral Marine, Long Life, or SEVERE?

Im pretty sure the T-case is good to go w/ Synthetic Universal ATF?????

thanks
