Rotella T6 5w-40 hard to find

Anyone else having a hard time finding this oil? seems like no one here one CNY has it and pricing is from 20 bucks (sale) to 30 bucks/gal. Some places have 2.5 gal size for darn near the price of 3 gallons. Check online and prices are even worse. So was wondering if other folks are having the same issue and is it just this brand??

Have a oil change coming up and if I cannot get the Rotella, what are others using in the 6.7 Powerstroke? I know there is Delo or if need be Amzoil. Will say that even before this Covid thing, the Rotella was hard to come by.
  • The supply chain will come around. Patience! 5w40 is available from others.
  • It appears to be just this brand. They've been running it on sale here and people are buying it up. Couple weeks and it should be back to normal. Of course it appears if something is rumored to be scarce, it just flat disappears. People are just stoopid.

    Check your local WalMart's. One mat not have it, but others may.
  • If you haven’t noticed, or watched the news, or been out in society, everyone is having this problem. And not just with your favorite brand of oil.
    We’re starting to slip from being a first world country the way the supply chain is going….
    I bought a few gallons of T6 at the Vato Zone a couple weeks ago for $22/gal if I remember correctly. But I use it sparingly so that will last me all winter in my Snowbike.
    I still run the cheap chit in my ole Dodge.
