Diesel oil, different from regular oil?

   / Diesel oil, different from regular oil? #51  
So, Does anyone know where to get Rotella T-6 5/40 in a 5 gallon pail. Everyone I talk to only can get it by gallon jugs or by the 55. Can always use the buckets, and I am going thru 5-6 gallons a month, anyways. Sick of the gallon jugs taking up all of the space in the recycling barrel, as I only have time to run recyclables in once a month. I don't want a 55 anymore because all of my brother's friends just happen to change oil at my shop in the winter because it is heated, and it seems that my drums were always getting light really fast, and I never found any oil containers in the trash, just used filters...draw your own conclusions.

Check with Shell yet? Are you using that in gassers too??

I tried the 55 & 5 gallon jugs. Pain in the butt like quart containers. The one gallon and 5 qt jugs are the best all around.

Guys, I can't thank you enough for educating for me.
FYI it just so happens the Amsoil distribution center is 25 miles from me and I talked to a tech guy today that was extremely helpful. They have a great reputation and only make synthetics. They have engine, tranny and front gear oil all in one place so I am going to use them. Pricy compared to dyno but who cares. :)

Checked their site, and can't find any package sizes, or any dealer inquiry/find a dealer search .

I am running it in every fuel injected vehicle that I own, except for the 2003 Dodge Neon, which has had Valvoline full synthetic 5-30 since 27,000 miles- now has 252,500 with no engine problems at all.

The older carbureted vehicles get dino 10-30 year round, whatever is cheapest by the drum.
