Where to buy Kendall or Rotella 5w40?

[bfg9k]

I just had my '01 Saab 9-5's engine fixed with Saab's latest and greatest PCV system update. The original PCV tubing was getting pretty gummed up, so I'm thinking of doing an Auto-RX run for good measure.

Auto-RX recommends dino oil, and I'd like to stay with the ACEA A3/B3 oils to maintain my engine sludge warranty. This means I'm shopping for either the Rotella 5w40 or the Kendall 5w40. I have never come across either in eastern MA. The Rotella 15w40 is easy to find, but with winter coming I don't want a 15w.

Any hints as to where to find this stuff? Or mail order sources?

Rotella 5W40 can usually be found at a NAPA store.

Thanks RI_RS4. I just called 2 nearby NAPA stores and all they have is the Rotella 15w40.

I suspect the Schaeffer's 5w40 would do fine as well, that's a group 3 & 4 blend if memory serves.

The Rotella 5W40 is easily obtained at Walmart stores. I have never seen the Kendall.

Walmart in Massachusetts and New Hampshire both carry Rotella 5w40. I just bought a gallon for my snowblowers. ~$16 per gallon.

Walmart sells the 5w40 rotella.

Autozone here in lockport, ny stocks the kendall, but its expensive.

The local Valu Home Center home improvement store sells the kendall quarts for 1.49 a quart on sale.

I have never seen the kendall 5w40 anywhere.

Here is the URL to Kendall's market locator where you can buy cases from a distributor. There are two distributors listed for MA. If neither of these are near you, look at the closest state to where you are to see if a distributor outside MA is closer.

Yep, a few times a year they offer Kendall GT-1, 5 and 10w-30 for $0.99/qt after a mail-in rebate for the case. I've never seen Kendall 5 or 15w-40 anywhere in the Buffalo area. I also have found Shell Rotella-T 5w-40 only at Walmart. It's 15w-40 everywhere else. Walmart will have 5w-40 in quarts or gallons, and lots of it.

Thanks everyone! It looks like Walmart it is. It's out of the way so I never think to go there.

Same here. I like to hit them up for their automotive department. They've got a great one.
