No Rotella T6

[pmsmechanic]

I found some T-6 this morning! It was at the local NAPA store. They have a reputation for being high priced which is probably why they still had some. I bought it anyways as I needed it.

The fact that other brands are available speaks to an issue with Shell, not motor oil in general.

My local Auto Zone is out of ALL brands of diesel oil they sell, except 5 gallon pails of “STP” diesel oil. I’m not buying that. WalMart is out of everything but a few gallons of Delo 400. Even my local Kubota tractor dealer who has an attached Service Star hardware store is out of diesel oil except Kubota brand.

Shortage of all kinds of oil. Time for a hydraulic oil change in my Kubota; I wanted the Super UDT2 in 5 gallon buckets. Dealer said he hasn't been able to get any - only Super UDT2 oil he had was what he had left from an order he put in last year.

Country's gone crazy this year and I don't understand what's changed to cause all these problems.

It's. not just Rotella t-6.
I'm also having issues finding Mobil one 15w-50.
Local Wal Mart has been out for weeks, local auto parts store are out.
What I find online they seem they to be price gouging. Asking prices double or more what I was previously buying it for

My wife said I have a shortage. Not sure what she meant.

How about a one-sentence summary?

I also have been having a hard time getting T6. Yesterday Walmart had 6 gallons sitting on the shelf. Needless to say I bought all of them. I now have enough on hand to change the oil in my truck 1 time and the tractor twice.

Incorrect. When there has been any option on the shelf, it’s usually a Shell product. At least, in my area. No Delo, at all. Very seldom seeing Mobil diesel. She’ll is hit or miss, but I’ve seen it more than the others.
