Nah. The guys at the local places are generally too busy answering the

Do you not get the feeling that the stores are trying to reduce
inventory during these less than wonderful economic times?
Even here in Manitoba where the recession does not seem to have hurt us
very badly (house prices are still very good here) it appears to me that

H, not really. Delo 400 and Delvac 1300 were his favorite
conventional oils.
Are you sure that the 606 uses a quart that often? The fill-max distance is
about a quart, and both of mine end up halfway between post-change. It takes
6-8k miles for it to drop to add, so that's really 12-16k per quart...

1983 300D
I have had a long-standing personal policy to not buy Shell fuel or products,
due to an incident with one of their retail dealers back in 1998. I recently
changed oil in my '83 300D and was looking to buy Chevron Delo but the store I
stopped in didn't have any in stock. Because I was rather
I have used it in my 76 300D since I got it. No problems so far.
I did read - and wish I had kept a copy - a review of various oils a
while back and they were not very enthused with the Rotella. I think
they suggested that most of the others were better including the no-name
or house brand

With the car's dipstick? (start adding at the add mark and stop midway between
add and full)

Keep an empty quart bottle in the trunk?
Though the Rotella bottles that I bought have such a strip. As do the
gallon bottles of Chevron Delo 400.

Like yourself, I have boycotted Shell Rotella, but for another reason.
Everything I have is Diesel and I found that with Rotella I had leaks and
oil usage. Switched to the new Castrol Diesel rated oil [Tection Extra,
15/40] and those problems went away.
