So why play with the numbers - regular oil (Rotella is not synthetic) for the Diesel and synthetic for the gas? But then again that wouldn't fit the agenda. Oh, and by the way, Rotella is $44.99 for 2.5 gallons at Advance.

GM Direct injection engines require DEXOS oil. Dexos 1 oil is a synthetic blend or full synthetic oil. Good luck finding a 5w-30 synthetic oil.

Sams club has rotella for $59.95 for 2 2.5 gallon containers.


so not only have to show you're wrong on this myth that diesel is vastly more expensive than gas, I have to find the best deals on supplies too?

I think most of us probably go somewhere to have our oil changed.Even though I changed my own oil on occasion, I find it a messy procedure and then you have to deal with putting it in containers (or transporting the container you used) to a disposal facility. It's a hassle. I would venture to say the "do it your selfers" are the exception rather than the rule. So it would probably be fair to compare costs at the dealer., local garage, etc. where ever you go to have your oil changed. I don't think comparing oil costs at Sam Club is the best way to go, simply because most of us have the oil changed elsewhere.
