bulk oil - 55 gallon drum - prices

We have found deals at sams club when drums are on sale after a change of grades, but getting a acc. at a oil supply warehouse will get you a good deal year round?

 

$10.50 gallon Mobile 1300 last week. Chevron Delo the week before at Wal Mart. They have 2-1/2 gallon jugs, but they don't go on sale and are actually more expensive.
You could probably get some " Orange Line " fleet oil dirt cheap.

 

$10.50 is a good deal for the quality oil in my mind.
Either of those brands are great. They used to put that Chevron in the mixers. Nothing gets pounded harder than they do. Idle all day, constantly driving the final drive that turns the drum, plus crank it up to 1500 or 1600 to mix it, and during loading. That's good oil.

I just changed mine with the Mobile, did a load back from Denver 79,300#. About 100 miles of it is up down these 7% grades on a goat trail in Arizona.

Pressure dropped only about 3 pounds when it was really cooking, and came back up instantly when the water temp went back down to 200 or less.

When I bought my last truck, the Volvo, they had put that Orange line in it. I changed it, put in Mobile, then started truckin'.

 

Menards and fleet farm have valvoline blue on sale about every other week $9.99-$10.49 a gallon I usually go in and buy 20-30 gallons at a time and stock up.

 

That's what my wrench uses at the company he works at.
I'm just not a Valvoline man, but he says it's very good oil.

 

I have an isx in my truck and cummins recomends it thats why I use it with a fresh inframe.

 

I also run an ISX.
