FINALLY, we have Rotella Gas Truck. I've been curious ever since I saw the initial press release, will have to try soon!. Also, noticed we now have Rotella T6 in a 15w40...more good news for my bike!

I have seen XLE 10w30 at my local Walmart.
 
You can have the 10W-30 XLE shipped to store or home for free. 5W-30 is nowhere to be found, though. Same with D1ESP and T6MV 5W-30.

Do you know if it's SN Plus?

LOL

I would have to go back to Walmart to check. That is definitely not on the agenda for the next few days.

Yes it is. Took me 30 seconds on google.

I guess you missed the XLE 10W30 WM clearance last spring ?? I scooped up many single qts for $1 each, 1 gallon jugs for $4 and 2.5 gallon jugs for $5-7 each !!!


Was my first BIG clearance score since joining BITOG

Lucky you Dave.
Normally I never look anywhere near the diesel oil section. All our Walmarts are set up where I enter the aisle and all the gasoline oils are first and at the end of the aisle are diesel brands like Rotella, Delvac and Delo. A few weeks ago a member here at BITOG mentioned the Delo XLE in thin weights. That's what put me on a search for it. Otherwise my feet hit the brakes in the aisle, when reaching Rotella, Delo and Delvac.

Sometimes I stop in the oil aisle when I reach Supertech gas-only oils. I have-yet to buy that brand, in 50 years of oil-shopping.

Its for real. Appears like it has just enough extra viscosity in 5w30 flavor (KV100 = 11.7, on the high side) to protect those Ford PU ecoboost fuel diluters from thinning out too much. And Shell says the anti-oxidants are stronger, again to help protect fuel diluting turbo DI engines & give it a little more high temperature resistance.
