Engine Oil Jug Safety Seals Broken

I change my own oil and earlier this year I bought 4 gallons of Rotella T6 Synthetic diesel oil at a large retailer. When I went to change the oil in the driveway, I found that one of the container's safety seal was broken. Being the paranoid schitzo I am, I hopped in my wife's car and returned the jug to the retailer and explained to them why I would not buy a jug of any oil with the safety seal broken... someone could have bought the jug, used the oil that was in it and replaced it with a substandard product and returned it to the store for their money back. I was able to get a new jug with the seal intact.

Jump to today. Walked into the same store and 10 out of 10 jugs had their safety seals broken on the Rotella T6 Synthetic. I found the store manager and explained to her what I found. I am sure that she thinks I am crazy (in addition to being paranoid schitzo) but that is life.

Anyone else have a similar experience and would you use the oil?

Yes indeed. About 3 months ago went to local Wally World to buy oil for the oil burner and found the seals broken on a number of jugs of Rotella. Looked a the 12 dollar jugs of Delvac and noted they were NOT uniformly filled to the same level....by a lot in some of the jugs, as in getting less product than paid for.

Went to local NAPA store and bought the Valvoline Blue for the ol' 5.9 'come a long'.:B No problems. What I learned NAPA store>Wally World for oil and filters.
