I've been checking walmart daily for over a week After some more digging, I found another supplier from the "where to buy" link on shell's website. Came out to $40/case, with 3 gallon jugs to a case. Wasn't that far away either, about 30 miles one way. Just happy to get my hands on some.

I went back to walmart to pickup the 10w-30 Rotella. It was actually 11.77/gallon, not the $13 I thought it was.

Ah wal-mart, forgot about their oil aisle.
If the HDEO I'm going to find is still going to be CJ-4, I'm not sure I see the point as I'd still have to add more zddp right? May as well stick with the SM and EOS combo I'm using now.
Hello,
In the past year or two I've been using 1 cup GM EOS (original formula) along with dino chevron 10w30 in my slant six but my stock is dwindling. This is my daily driver, not a very serious build, stock cam & valvetrain. However, I do like to stomp on it every now and then. Who wouldn't...
