I used to order it from Walmart.com, but it does not appear to be available at the moment.  I stocked up when it was $39 for a 5 gallon bucket of full synthetic.  I think I got like 12 buckets of it.  It goes out of stock from time to time and I assume its probably sitting on a ship somewhere.

Where do you get the Sinopec oil? We need to change the oil in all the grooming machines which is going to need around 15 gallons. I'd like to go synthetic and can get Delvac 1 5w40 at Tractor Supply for $52/2.5 gallons or just under $21 a gallon. Considering Rotella T4 is nearly $15 a gallon

Yeah either one maybe. The daughter unit 124 is ok but needing this and that. While I’d like a diesel that color combo makes me gag for some reason. Either flip it to her for the 124 or sell it. I like the silver E320 gasser, it does ok on petrol, about what the diesel did and is quite peppy.
