Re: no more Rotella oil available?
The auto parts store nearby has a few gallons back in stock, but the price went up by four bucks a gallon....go figure. Walmart had about ten gallons back on the shelf for the same low price of 13.98.

Re: no more Rotella oil available?
I recall hearing there is an ingredient used in synthetic diesel oil that has become hard to obtain. I dunno if that’s the issue or what. I managed to get the last two gallons on the shelf I could find in a 50 mile radius for my Cummins. I’m good for the next 7500 miles. I guess I’ll be going back to dino if it doesn’t become available by then.

Re: no more Rotella oil available?
Maybe this one is the closest match to the "oldstyle" Rotella we used to buy formerly:
