No Rotella T6

Probably will be plenty in stock in January

In my NAPA store yesterday.
Manager said he had 100 gallons of T4 15W40 not showing in inventory so nobody could transfer it.
My NAPA online account shows no T6 anywhere.
Glad I have enough Kubota supplies for next year!
I'll refrain from making a political comment here!
Good Luck!

How do you figure?

How do you figure?

Moreover, why should there be critical items out of stock and empty shelves for months?
Inflation is one thing, shortages are another

Good idea. Great way to get a vacation (unpaid).

I've been looking for some T-6 also. Maybe we will have to get creative and collectively buy a barrel of oil and divide it up.

I buy oil for my TDI's from VW. If I buy 20 liters at a time and bring my own containers they have given me up to $2/liter off of their regular price. They fill my containers out of their bulk totes. The bonus is that I don't have to pay any environmental fees and I don't have numerous containers to dispose of.

Same here, no T6 nor is there much of the other series. I did find a couple gallons of T1 and I did manage to get the last 3 jugs of T4 (2.5 gal size) in town. I did notice that TSC had plenty of their brand diesel oil in 5 gal buckets in stock. Not much available around here in brand name from the usual places, just house brand.

I've been seeing the same thing for months. I thought TSC was just clearing out their inventory to stock up on their house brand, but I've learned it's more widespread than I originally thought. I got Mobil 1 for the last oil change and the shelves are still empty.

I'll never learn, should have gone to the local guys first! I haven't gone anywhere much and the city is 45 minutes one way and town is 15 min the other so that's my excuse. Made a special trip to town today so I can do the tractor oil tomorrow.

Anyway, local place had..."plenty" is too generous but "enough" of almost all the diesel oils, T4 in five gal everything else gallons. Also had my fuel filters so I'm happy now. Talked to him about it and he said oil is coming in small batches off the "auto inventory" and DEF not at all so he special orders DEF to keep it in stock and he's done a few special orders of oil to keep his stock where he wants it. Interesting bit of intel I guess.

You guys are getting paid!?!?

Not exactly the same, but even Caterpillar is back-ordered on filters and oil. I'm waiting on a delivery I started at the beginning of the week for an oil filter!
