Shell rotella gas truck oil - Pretty good price online right now

[Grape_Ape]

Just stumbled upon this while researching oils and decided to pull the trigger. I was able to buy 5 - 5 quart jugs of Shell Rotella Gas Truck Full Synthetic for $10.50 per jug online at Advance Auto Parts.

Hopefully it's not a fluke and something goes wrong with my order. Supposed to be a pretty respectable oil. It meets the Mopar specs and from discussions online it seems to have a higher moly count than Penzoil Platinum.

Thanks for the tip, checked at my local stores but looks like they were cleared out, only option is buying online. If you buy 4 of them, it doesn't charge shipping, just tax.

So for me, 4 (1 gallon jugs) is just $45.21 out the door! Great deal for full synthetic oil that is FCA approved and has solid reviews.

That's actually half the price of Wally World where I just recently purchased 2 jugs from for my last oil change, now stocked up for a while.

lol I ended up with 7 jugs of 5qt. Probably gonna pick up some 0w-20 for my other vehicles as well.

Edit: and done. 30qts of 0w-20. Not as sweet of a deal because they're only in singles at $2.49 but I can handle it. That'll end up being like 4 oil changes for my commuter, 2 oil changes for my wife's car, and 5 oil changes for the ram. All for $150 roughly. I already have filters for everything but the ram. Hell of a deal imo.

I have been running it in my truck and so far so good. I bought mine at a PepBoys going out of business sale and it was about $10 a jug also.

So much for this

Cool! Got "1 dealer oil change" worth... so I have 3-4 years of oil changes now

I'm good for next 2 year or so.

Tried, but can't order online for home delivery, and every store in my state is out of stock. This sux! Was going to get 6 jugs.

Update: just stopped at my local Advance Auto parts and they ordered 6 (5) quart jugs for me - will be in Monday! I'm set for a while!

I think it's an awesome oil based on all the reviews for the last year and oil analysis done. Just make sure to shake the bottle really good before using, especially with the jugs you aren't going to use all the oil in. Apparently these modern oils can lose suspension over time.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know that was even a thing. Using the first 6 qts on the wife's ride today lol.

Are any of the jugs of RGT you guys got displaying the new SP/GF-6A spec?

I don't see anything in it.



This is from what I bought for my other vehicles. Not sure if 5w would be any different.

Edit: googled it and as you can tell in the pic these are SN plus. Wonder if they're clearing inventory for the SP?

Thanks, you may be right but I’ve read that it was just a really slow seller. Possibly because some folks thought it could only be used in trucks, it’s happened before with Quaker State and Mobil. I’d like to try it, mainly because the container has a white Ram on it, but I’ll wait for the SP/GF-6A version if it ever hits the shelves. Until then I’ll stick with Pennzoil Platinum which has released the newer stuff.

Nothing wrong with that. The reason I went with it was simply because it was such an awesome deal. You and I have talked at length in other threads and we seem to have similar thoughts on oil. Seems like the guys over on Bob is the oil guy thought penzoil platinum and this oil may be very similar. With gas truck having more moly. It's also noted that they're marketed differently with PP being a "cleaner" and this gas truck being more for "wear protection". At the end of the day I'm not a chemical engineer and it's probably all marketing but with the anecdotal evidence of people saying the hemi likes more moly I figured it wouldn't be a bad thing.

No doubt it’s a great oil, and cheap makes it even better!

That's Shell Rotella for you. Their diesel oil is a favorite for both car and motorcycle folks for many years.

WOO HOO! Thanks for the heads up! I just ordered 6 jugs for me and will get some for the wife's Grand Cherokee too. This is all I have run after dumping the factory oil. Good oil for sure at a fantastic price.

Yea I have a problem.... Found some more at a different location one town over today. Purchased 1 more 5qt and 10 singles of 5w/30
