I would like to buy Shell Rotella T6 in quarts. Is there a place other than Wal-Mart that carries it? Is there any place online that I can buy it?

Up in my area we have Farm & Fleet, Big R, and Rural King. They all sell Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 in quarts, gallons, and 5 gallon buckets. As these stores are not in your area, this is no help you to you. Sometimes the local Autozone and O'Reilly's have it.

Google is your friend.

$6.99 at Rural King, free shipping on orders over $49.

$6.79 at O'Reilly's. Order online and pick a store for local pick-up. No shipping cost.

Your best bet is to look up local bulk fuel/oil jobbers that carry Shell products in your yellow pages.

Rare WM or truck stop.

I have 2. One for in the car and one to keep here filled since with the Pella takes me over a gallon to refill and the quart is easier to work with.

I've had the same 2 for years because they are hard to find I don't throw them out.

I have yet to find T6 in Quarts, Looked at Walmart, Napa, and Fleet Farm.

Seen the Regular T in quarts, but not the T6.

Oreilly and Walmart sell synthetic t6 in gallon bottles*. Oreilly has them on sale for ~$20 every couple months (at least at my local shop).

Quarts or gallons? I would hope a quart would not be 20 bucks...

I buy quarts at Wal-Mart as well as gallon jugs. The quarts are about $7.95, IIRC.

Different parts of the country I guess.

I bought a gallon for about 20 bucks last night. 7 bucks a quart is pretty spendy compared to 4 quarts for 20 so maybe I shouldnt complain I can get it in smaller quantities.

Just that an oil change is 4.5 quarts...but I guess I will use this gallon to top it off between changes and have enough left over for the 0.5 quart next few changes.

When I was using T6 I bought the gallon a Walmart for $21, and the quart at Rural King for $7.

Farm and Fleet or Tractor Supply might have the quarts, too.

Switch to the Delo 5w-40? It's pretty comparable to the Rotella and just a bit cheaper at the local Wal-Mart here. I'm not sure, but I think they have it in quart bottles too.

I don't even bother with buying quarts anymore since I use it in almost everything I own. It never goes to waste and won't ever spoil.. I refill an empty quart bottle to keep in the car for topping off but that's it. Far more expensive in single quarts

I do the same thing. I keep a few mobil1 quart bottles around so I can refill them with any excess- the wide mouth makes filling without a funnel pretty easy. I mark them with a sharpie to make myself feel better. :)
