Rotella T4 pricing (Mar '24)

[duffer]

Just got back from going to TSC & Walmart. Need to change oil in my T4 tractor.

To my surprise Walmart was $4/gal LESS than TSC for the exact same Rotella 5w-40 for diesels. In the past TSC has been lower than Walmart in my area.

So do yourself a favor and compare pricing!

Our TSC is always high, on everything

Locally, Rotella and Mobil 1 oil at TSC, Advanced auto and AutoZone is always priced a good bit higher than Walmart

Went into tsc to grab some T6 for the mini and our massey. Crapped my pants.

Picked up a 3 gal case off of Amazon for roughly $60. Hate buying off Amazon but dang

Amazon is less that any of the box stores or TSC. Just ordered 3 cases of T6 myself. Not like it's coming from across the pond because it isn't. Free shipping as well.

I keep finding that you have to shop 3-4 different places anymore. The prices are all over the place. Except fuel, that seems to be the same everywhere anymore.

Not really of fuel. that varies around here from station to station. It's all expensive...

I also routinely price shop oil at multiple places. Every so often, I can score a 3 for 2 sale or something similar at Walmart or wherever and get oil that is much cheaper. I tend to keep an eye peeled for the sales when I know that I am going to need 15-20 gallons for a hydraulic oil change.

My local TSC has never been the best source for iil, though I do buy a fair amount of other things there.

All the best,

Peter

Costco and Sam’s Club can be 20-50 cents cheaper than other stations in my area. They both use Valero fuel.

A hundred mile (each way) yesterday, on road diesel was 3.95 - 3.99. That’s 2 different states with different tax rates for diesel fuel ( one is .308, other is 0.4775). Close enough for me to say, “all the same”

Actually, we get our gasoline at the Kroger filling station and usually we have enough fuel points that we get an average of a buck off, sometimes more. They have a fill limit of 30 gallons per transaction with a ceiling of $1.25 We don't drive that much anymore, anyway. They have on road diesel at the same discount and I may buy on road (some) this year, depends on the off road price actually.

I agree but with the Net, price shopping is pretty painless today. Like I said, T6 on Amazon beats everyone and free shipping to boot. Not that I don't do free shipping on everything I buy on that site because I do and I'm not about to pay for their 'Prime' either. If I want something, I check free shipping and have to wait maybe a week, no big deal as I don't need it tomorrow anyway.

I also get Kroger discounts, but they are only 5-10 cents per gallon. After discounts Costco is still significantly cheaper.

Must be a regional thing then. Kroger used to give up to a buck per gallon off but recently changed that to $1.25 here. No Costco around here anyway, lest not within 50 miles. My wife gets the grocery vouchers as well and we both have Kroger MC's (different names) so I give her my vouchers as well. Last time we got over 250 bucks in groceries for zip.

Far as I'm concerned the Kroger MC is the best card out there (so long as you take advantage of all the perks and we do. Second favorite card for me is the HF no interest on any purchase over 250 bucks card. I tend to consolidate my HF purchases and get the due balance over their threshold. Between that and their ITC membership, I usually save a bundle there. My philosophy is, HF has some excellent tools and stuff but they also have junk. I stay away from the junk as a rule. Actually, those are the only 2 cards I have. I get offers for cards constantly and they all get round filed.
