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.

Re: Best place to buy Rotella
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.

Re: Best place to buy Rotella
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

Re: Best place to buy Rotella
Good video, but didn't include the lucas oil heavy duty oil stabilizer. I'll see if I can find a review specifically for that.

Re: Best place to buy Rotella
I just bought 4 gallons of Rotella 15/40 at walmart last weekend. I think it was $18/gallon. I have bought it on Amazon as well. This was for my diesel tow rig and generator.
If you are looking for oil for your race car i recommend Lightning Racing Oil. I have been using their oil for about 8 years now and my engines have lasted the best of any oil i have tried. I dont run any over the counter street car oils in my race car or oil filters. I use a System One oil filter.

Re: Best place to buy Rotella
It is in the video titled "additives" about a half hour long, but it DID specifically address the Lucas stabilizer. The video's too long, but worth the watch. It was in the section called "the Bad".
