Best place to buy Rotella
 

Hey all, I'm looking for the best place to buy Rotella straight 30wt. Although their 15-40 would probably be fine for me to run in my stocker and S/G car, my engine builder prefers 30wt for his engines. 30wt is twice the cost of 15-40, so I'm looking for the best place to find a deal on the straight 30wt. Cheapest I can find it anywhere is about $30/gal. Tips or alternatives would be appreciated, thank you!

I will note that I always add 1qt of Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer for added protection, and I could use a deal on that stuff too. I use it quite a bit of that as well. I usually change the oil in my stuff about every 40-50 runs or so.

Would think that Walmart would be the cheapest. When i had my diesel used only rotella. As for additive look at Bestline Engine Treatment, they sell the bottles on Amazon. I sell their engine treatment, fuel treatment and transmission treatment in 55 Gallon Drums if interested PM me.

You also might want to watch the video by Lake Speed Jr. about oil additives - the Lucas stabilizer is one he had lab tested along with about a dozen others ;)

Rather than mixing in a ZDDP additive, I prefer to use an oil that has it built in. I have been running Brad Penn/Penngrade 1 10/30 and 5/30 oils in my flat tappet and hydraulic roller stuff for quite a few years now, and have had no cam or lifter issues. Over the years, it appears that the Shell Rotella oil has had the ZDP content reduced more than once.

Continue to do what has worked in the real world for you and your engine builder.
For a stock or super stock application hopped up for class, Maxima PS0 oil straight worked great with 35 lbs. oil pressure at the stripe, the narrowed rod bearings looked new after 30 runs.
