I buy 1 gallon jugs of Rotella T. I get it for that price if I buy the case of three. Most of our diesels at work take 14-16 quarts.

Yikes. The big DT466 takes 10 gallons. But the Duramax and Powerstrokes only take about three and a half.

Guess location has a lot to do with pricing as well.

I'm looking forward to my next oil change so I can try out Rotella T6. I have been using Mobil 1 synthetic for years. My question is how does it work in firearms? I use Mobil 1 synthetic for everything from motor oil to gun oil. I gotta try out Rotella in my XJ at least.
