If I could find somewhere that had Rotella/Delo/Delvac/other in this weight, I'd probably use it in all my cars. Anyone know where I might get some brick and mortar in the Philly metro area?
I forgot about a distributor pretty close but I've never been there. Apparently they have commercial lubes from Castrol, Shell, Chevron, Petro Canada, and CRL. Which HDEO is highest in zinc and moly from these companies?
I bought a case of Delo 10w30 in gallon jugs (6 galons) for $78 at my local bulk lube distributor. I couldn't find it at any local parts stores or truck stops.
You should be able to find a Wally's in the Phila area that stocks Rotella T 10-30. Might have to check a few and look around in the oil section - sometimes they keep the HDEO's separate from the passenger car stuff.
It seems to be hit/miss - the Johnstown store doesn't stock it, nor does the new East Freedom store, but the one in Altoona does.
Also keep your eye out at local truck stops...There is two FlyingJ's in my local area, one has 10W30 and the other one doesn't. Sometimes the common works out.
Ask your favorite oil retailer if they can order it for you by the case. The big box stores might not. The local auto parts stores and others probably can get it. Whether you get a 12-quart case or six-gallon case, it'll work for you.
Motorcraft distributors can get it, many Ford dealers here have it, not sure if it's a good price or not-I ran it in my 6.0 a couple winters ago, it didn't flow nearly as well as synthetic 5W40 (Valvoline PBXtreme).
