What's the price on a 55 gal.drum of dino oil?Ballpark price on any brand.

Maybe I've not found a good supplier. But What I've priced is compareable to buying in gallon jugs. Not to mention the hassel of a barrel pump, storage, ect. F-I-L owns and drives a class 8 truck OTR and I haven't found a place to buy Rotella cheaper than we can buy in gallon or 2 1/2 gallon jugs on sale.

Local price
Rotella 55gal at Orielly
Just a quick example.

Especially when you consider Wally World sells the gallon jugs and they buy them a billion at a time, so they get a price better than anybody else ever will.

We pay in the neighborhood of $9/gal for Delo 15w40 in a 55 gallon drum. Just wish I could run a 15w40 HDEO in my 5w20-specced 4.7L Dodge.

The company I work for is buying Rotella bulk (1000 gal.) for $5.95 a gallon.
