    At Autozone? I was in a hurry so I didn't check for the 5quart jugs. Hell, the 5 quart jugs of almost all of the synthetic oils are normally $22-$25 at walmart.

    Full synthetic (blue jug) is all I ever use in my motorcycle's along with automotive filters. Never had an issue.

    Yep, the jugs are $10 and singles are $2. It's all marked down. One autozone had em at $4/qt and the rack was still full of every grade oil. It's a slow seller. I raided the 2nd autozone at $2/qt and the clerk looked at me as if I was crazy. I left all the 30wts as I no need longer need them. Just made out with all the 20wts.

    I have used Mobil 1 for the last 700,000 miles over the last 10 years in whatever 3 vehicles we own. Never had a bit of problems. I have been using the 0w-20 Advanced Fuel Economy in our Tundra and 4Runner. These engines are pretty loud and rattley with the Mobil 1, but would probably never experience a problem with that oil. I used Rotella Gas Truck 0w-20 for the last change in my Tundra and it completely quieted down the upper valve train noise. I will be using the Rotella Gas Truck going forward in my Tundra and 4Runner.

    in my opinion, the Rotella Gas Truck is probably on the "thicker" side for a 0w-20, and Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy is in the thinner side for a 0w-20.

    There's an all state autozone coupon for $7 off $30. Google for it. Makes the clearance + rebate even more of a no brainer. I have 60 qts in the garage. Be good for a couple years.

    I know, I ended up picking up a mixture of another 30 qts yesterday. Hard to pass up on that deal

    they still had some valvoline 0-20 synthetic for $10 /5 qts that I passed on . I am probably good for the next 5 years or would have grabbed all the valvoline also

    What benefit does this oil have over Mobil 1 Truck & SUV oil?

    The biggest benefit for me is the rotella was free! IMO- Almost any of the oils today that meet correct spec are good to use

    Best to approach this scientifically. Due and oil and filter change. Use oil #1 (your call). At the recommended oil change interval drain the oil and send it out for analysis. I use Long Island Analytical Labs, other use Blackstone. Use the second oil of your choosing. replace the oil filter with the same type. At the recommended oil change interval drain the oil and send it out for analysis. Review results. Not only will this let you know if you have engine issues, but if the oil results are the same, go with what is cheapest oil in your study.

    I just cleaned both of my local 2 AutoZones out of all that they had left, 33 quarts worth @$2 a quart. Rebate time! Sounds dumb but I won’t be using in the truck, I run Schaeffer’s. Will use in my wife’s car....it’s still good oil!

    I've used Rotella T6 0-40 for years on my polaris (makes those 500s purr) and other small engines. Since its intended for the Dirtiest of engines, diesels, it cleans out carbon and engine internals rather well.

    If you're concerned about affects on cats you may want to steer clear on those engines - though the label says it is intended for All engines.

    Luck and enjoy those Toyotas. : ^ )))

    There's another RGT rebate scheduled to start 01/2020 after the 2019 one expires. Looks like Shell is hurting trying to get this stuff off retailer's shelves.

    Shell just pushed out another $2/qt rebate for 2020 for this Gas Truck oil. My autozone still had clearance jugs on the shelf. And you can Google for the autozone allstate insurance $7 off $30 purchase.

    Basically getting paid to take this stuff.

    If you have a toyota dealer nearby then just get them there. They are cheap and better than others from an auto parts store

    I buy them in bulk off Amazon. Sometimes you'll find them packaged with the drain plug crush washer too.

    For those who are partaking, you can also register for Shell Rewards too and redeem your receipts for points. I've been using T6 for other stuff and have been able to redeem Amazon gift cards. And I also won a free mini grill from their summer sweepstakes.

    (Just submit your receipt after you get your $2/qt rebate check in hand. The call center seems to get both rewards points and rebate dollars mixed up).
