I should change the oil in my 06 BRM Jetta soon... Looking at the oil on the shelf in the garage, I only have about 3.7L of Rotella T6 5w40 left. Not enough to do a complete oil change.

What are you using and any good deals on now (October 2017). I bought the last bunch of Rotella for a steal at TSC, but nothing jumps out at me as a good deal. Might pay full price for a 5L jug (about $48cdn)

2002 TDI (ALH) with 513,000 km. First Owner and very happy... No Problems, never left us stranded on the Highway. Average useage is about between under 4 ltr. and 5 ltr. Normal longdistance travel: 4.1/100
or just buy what you need to complete the Oil Change....another Liter?

Rotella T6 5w40

partsource has

5L jug for $40.79
18.9gallon pail for $127.49.

There is a rebate form at:
http://www.shell.ca/en_ca/business-...mail.html#iframe=L0RJWS9OYXRpb25hbDE3L2NhLw==

($5 off 5L jug, $25 off 5 gallon pail...)

I'm going to try the 5 gallon pail, I have a few 5L oil containers I can transfer it into...

(I use about 3 gallons per year in my TDI, and maybe 1 gallon every 18 months or so in my motorcycle)

This is what I do - I get the 5gallon pail on sale, apply for the rebate (received it every time - takes a month via online submission).

Works out to about $23 per oil change (for oil) for T6 5w40. The only time I have beat that was a couple years ago when TSC had 5w40 T6 on a blowout for 19.99 a 5L jug. I bought all they had. :D

I am down to a part jug leftover from that TSC sale... enough for one more mc oil change... Supply has lasted me a while. (I change by km, not by age... my motorcycle and Porsche (not using t6) only get an oil change every 18 months or so. - although I may change on the motorcycle more often if the gear shifting gets a bit harsh....) Jetta gets an oil change every 12,000km or so....
I have some T6 5L empty jugs that I may have used for oil recycling... going to wash them out with some dish soap and air dry... Will be back in business soon....
With the 5 gallon pail and rebate, it works out to $6.30/L after tax.
Going to try this method on my workbench to transfer to smaller containers.... (multiple videos on youtube show the same basic method)

If anybody is interested I have 6-7 5L jugs of Total Ineo 5W30 (505.01).

Sold the Mk4 and have no use for it. $40 each tax in.

I have about 1.5L of the T6, should be good enough with what you have for your oil change. You can have it. If you ever come towards the east, let me know.

I always get T6 from Can Tire in the 18.9 Litre pails - comes out cheaper than the 5L jugs when on sale.
