    Delvac also available everywhere around me. Freightliner has an entire pallet in parts showroom.

    Shelf life for motor oils is several years as long as it stays sealed. Just shake it a bit before using.
    Earlier this summer I emptied a 6,000 gal bulk storage tank that held 15w-40, nobody had pulled any product from that tank in nearly 5 years. Drummed it up, sent to the frac fleet for oil changes, never had a problem.

    Went to Wal Mart this morning. They had 2 2.5 gallon jugs of Delvac. No gallons or 5 gallon buckets. I bought both of them. Then I went to Oreillys,Auto Zone & Tractor Supply. They were all out although TSC had it on sale for 27.99. So I went to my local Mobil Distributor & bought 2 55 gallon barrels, $750.00 each. I hated to spend that but with 2 trucks running they will use it & I won't have to worry about trying to find it in the store for awhile.

    I’ve had a hard time finding Delvac at Walmart. Went to autozone and O Reilly’s. Much more expensive than Walmart. I bought some Valvoline they had on sale. Didn’t use it. Ran another round, left oil at home. Found 3 cases in at a Walmart in the back auto room on a pallet. Finally changed it at 16,500 miles. Also found 8 gallons in my side box. Lol, after all that. Used it up, now I’ve got an extra 20 gallons. Will be buying it up as I see it. Just got 3 gallons yesterday. Shortages seem to be in areas that have a lot of O/Os.

    Auto Zone & O reillys will price match Wal Mart here. You might ask next time you go in.

    There was an agent trying to pedal loads of it going here, there, and everywhere.
    Guess the mighty t4 is made offshore lmfao.
