Castrol Tection Diesel Oil

[LargeCarMan]

Well, now that I have enjoyed shopping for (Deals) on oil...thanks folks, and Castrol has become a sponser....

I was at Shucks buying some 49 cent a qt. Chevron Supreme engine oil and saw Castrol Tection Diesel oil. A gallon was about 8 and a half bucks and the second gallon was free.

Is this a new product from Castrol? any one use this diesel oil? I did like it's gold color oil and the glug free jug nozzle.

What store was that? It sounds like a great deal on some great oil. Was it a a national chain. Let us know so we can all buy some 'cheap' oil. Save us 'oil burners' some $.

"I was at Shucks"

Is what the man said...

Skunky, what part of Arkansas are you from?

 

[LateArrivalforLSU]

I haven't received the bill yet. As soon as I do I'll break it down and let you know. Coffee sure does taste better out of my newly acquired PSD mug!!!

 

[Bio-T]

Sent you a PM, glad the mug worked. That mug is gold, have never seen another like it.

I know that all Komatsu Equipment with a diesel engine gets Castrol Tection from the factory and Komatsu dealers. Very good oil.

I picked up 8 gallons before the end of the year when it was on sale for $5. Good stuff. The data sheet seems to hold up good in comparison to Rotella T and others. I'm using it in my saab right now!

If it's not over by now, there was a promo at AutoZone. Buy two, get one free. I also saw a thing on the Castol website that allowed you to print a coupon for a $6 rebate on purchase of three gallons. Now, does "buy two, get one free" constitute a "purchase" of three gallons?

 

[BrianWC]

It would depend on how they ring it up. If they ring up three gallons of tection, then show a $7.97 (how much it costs at my AZ) discount, I would think that shows as three purchased.

Castrol always seems to have ambiguous conditions on their rebates.

 

[BrianWC]

Well, sent my UOA off today. We'll see!

 

[bulwnkl]

I've used it in my older Subaru. No UOAs though. I think it's a good oil.

 

[BrianWC]

Does anyone think I am crazy for putting this stuff in a sludgeprone car where the manufacturer has been forced to recommend synth at 5k intervals?

Not that it matters, but...

 

[BrianWC]

By the way, from what I can gather from looking at Castrol's rebate, it looks like it won't be any problem to use it in conjuction w/ the by 2 get 1 free sale.

Well, I'm glad to get reinforcement from you Rich. I just worry with a turbo and sludge prone car but hello, look at what the oil is designed for. I know it's not everything, but looking at flash point, the Tection seems better than M1. But it seems if this was such a great alternative for sludge prone cars, more people would be doing this.

 

[RichR]

How can you beat a price of $.80 or less a quart.
With a nominal oci/ARX you should keep the sludgies away.
But I can use 15/40 only in warmer months.
I ran Schaeffers 15/40 for two oci's and it did fine.But being a BITOGer makes oil deals an automatic purchase!

 

[BrianWC]

Amen! As for 15W40, I live in Louisiana. It's only been sub 20* once this winter.

"Does anyone think I am crazy for putting this stuff in a sludgeprone car where the manufacturer has been forced to recommend synth at 5k intervals?"
Not at all! I bought six gallons(Thank you Beanoil for the rebate link-do a search I think its still good)and intend to use it in a sludge possible Camry V6 when the weather warms up.
With 3oz. of ARX added.
