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.

I've been running 6qts rotella straight 30wt and 1qt of the lucas additive in my race car for the last 10 years or so with 4$ Fram oil filters off of amazon and have had great success. Only issue I've ever had was I wiped a cam lobe and roller lifter on my small block about 3 years ago, but I think that was a parts failure, not oiling issue. It seems the roller cracked and stopped spinning, eating itself and the cam.

Re: Best place to buy Rotella
You're about a week late, Rotella had a good rebate deal. I paid about $70 for a 5 gal bucket and got $20 back. I believe Tractor Supply had a sale on Rotella, a little cheaper than Walmart.
I've run Rotella and other easy to find oils, with my flat tappet cams. I have been using Mobil 1 racing from WM about $27 for 5 qt. jug. Last edited by Eman; 05-21-2024 at 11:19 AM. |

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".

Re: Best place to buy Rotella
I saw that, but that was the full synthetic stabilizer, I use the heavy duty version meant for big-rigs/diesel trucks

Re: Best place to buy Rotella
Yup, I see that now. Makes me wonder how much difference there really is though.
