Worst website. Unable to purchase because some local store is out of stock a item. I have other local stores with item FYI. Why offer home delivery if you cannot buy because local store is OOS ?.
Disclaimer...I don't know what I'm talking about in regards to oil.........BUT.....I'd love to buy this deal but my question.....is this oil good for say a small suv (tuscon 2.0)? This Rotella gas truck oil marketing is confusing!!
and I'm sure keeping a lot of us from buying this deal just because we are not sure if it applies to only gas trucks/suv's as it says or any old gas vehilce listed for both API and ACEA ratings. I dont know what those are for Rotella but if anybody could help us understand it would be appreciated.
^ Any oil weight like 5W-20 can be rounded up or down slightly, to meet human desires for numeric increments of 5 or 10. This oil has a little thicker base stock and less viscosity index improvers, making it slightly more drag but more stable under high shear (heavy load) applications.
If you are a soccer mom that only drives the kids to school and sports events, you will have no gain and a "tiny" lower fuel economy. If you drive aggressively, especially in summer, it will break down less and provide better protecton.
For this price, yes it is a fine oil to use. The differences are minor compared to the differences of choosing a different rated weight instead. Marketing a separate product allows them to take up more shelf space against their competition. ;)
Yup, this "deal" seems to be useless. It won't let me order as every local store is "out of stock". And for in-store pickup it just says "Call the store". Thanks, jerks.

However, if you find a store with only 1 available, here is a 25% off promo code available with no minimum (AAPSAVES25) which brings the price to 7.87
Best of luck to everyone!
Thank you!
