40W Oil

[mrkane1952]

Mike:

When going to Seguin for service, I usually get several cases of Rotella 40wt
from

Midtex Oil, L.P.
3456 IH 35 South
NEW Braunfels, TX 78132
Phone: 830-625-4214
<http://www.midtexoil.com/>

About half the O'Reilly stores
<http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/fi/storelocator.oap> I've tried in Texas also
stock Rotella 40wt.

Another possibility is <http://www.rvmobilelube.com/RV_home.php> RV mobile lube.
He is accepted for oil changes in many parks, and carries supplies for DD
2-strokes. My last service was in Terrell, and cost <$300, with me supplying
some of the filters. This included oil plus oil and fuel filters for both the
8V92 and the Yanmar, and full lube.

Around the country, I have found some Walmarts do carry Rotella 40wt (in
addition to the more common 30wt,) probably due to a local marine market. I
typically carry 3-4 gallons aboard on cross-country trips.

where are people able to find straight weight 40W oil for the 2 stroke diesels?
The Mobil website does not even appear to list any straight weight diesel oils
any more. I have not checked to see if Detroit Diesel dealers still carry their
DD 'Power Stroke' branded oil (which was Mobil 1240). I saw no straight weight
Rotella at my local Wally World over the weekend.
