Engine Oil

[Chevelle_Nut]

I need to buy enough oil for 2 oil changes in my diesel, about 30 quarts. I like Chevron Delo 5W-40 but man is it hard to find. I think OReilly's will be my best bet having it delivered. Walmart is out of almost all brands of 5W-40 as is Amazon.

I am considering if I need to change over to Mobil One 5w-40 or Valvoline Blue as Chevron has the oil listed on a search but not in their product offering front page list.

Diesel oil seems to be Gold nowadays.

I'm a big Rotella fan for my Diesel so it get 15W-40. I'm a fan of Diesel oil in most engines anyway. Especially dirt bikes, 4wheelers and gokarts that share engine oil with the trans.

I only used Rotella in my diesels.

My engine does not run as smooth on Rotella T6, IDK what it is.

I run diesel oil on my lawn equipment and older engines, good vitamins in that stuff.

Odd, I ran Rotella in my 7.3 and my 6.0 and they ran great. I changed them every 5k miles and never had an issue.

I ran Rotella T6 for many miles, engine always seemed louder at 4-5000 miles Switched to Delo and runs smoother close to oil change time. I am a religious 5000 mile oil change person.

I guess I never noticed, but I never got to 5k miles ever. Never wanted to destroy the engines, so they were changed between 4,500 and 4,800. Lisa says I was too OCD about it, but never had a problem (except those pesky 6.0 bolts that stretched).

I am too. 5,000 is my limit. I am looking at taking what I need to change the oil at a campground on the way back from Yellowstone, super easy on that truck. I really don't feel like tieing it up at a shop to have it done or paying their prices. Plus I don't trust just anyone messing with it.
