No Rotella T6

Buying for your next change due soon is one thing. Buying for two or three some time down the road is hoarding.

Depends on what you do for a living.

I was taught a long time ago:

"A pair and a spare"

It kinda applies to everything and preparedness, and is self-explanatory.

We try and keep X amount of supply in stock at all times in case there is an unforeseen immediate need for that stock. And we order replenishment anytime we get below X amount of supply, not when we've used the last of the supply.

We apply that to oil, filters, belts, bread, soup, flour, sugar, toilet paper, you name it. It makes life so much less stressful, and does not cost any more in the long run, as we're going to use it anyway.

I had a hella time finding Rotella T6 it at all the usual places, finally tracked down the last 2 gallons they had on the shelf at Home Depot.

Another thing I can't find anywhere is solar salt for the water softener. I see the rust-out stuff around, but I need the all natural salt for my system. Finally the other day, again Home Depot came through...had 4 bags, so I snatched them up.

For work, I'm getting ridiculous lead times when ordering industrial parts. For air valves, I got an estimated March delivery, with no expedited service option available. A supplier for other parts was telling me some things are getting quoted with an estimated October 2022 delivery (luckily nothing I order).

Needless to say, THAT is why shortages happen. Horders.

Define hoarding for me. Six gallons barely changes the oil in a diesel truck, maybe 1 1/3 times. Last week I needed seven to change my truck and small tractor because I already had some on hand. Standing by for how six gallons is hoarding.

Napa had 5w40 T6 listed as available at my closest store, figured I'd order a couple gallons as I use it in most of my equipment and truck and want to make sure I have enough for all the fall/spring maintence.

Ordered online for store pickup, got a call a few minutes later from the store saying they didn't have any and the only store that had some (45min away) had theirs already slated for another customer.

It’s not even close to hoarding.
