Good tip, Grump! Going there after work...

**Grumpy old man** · 02-07-2018, 10:51 AM

Yeah , I like the metal cans and seen them sell on ebay for $20.00 empty .

zosoppp · 02-13-2018, 08:07 PM

Managed to score 4 cans at $0.97 each here in NJ today. (2each at 2 stores).

CST10 · 02-13-2018, 09:45 PM

I’ve been searching down here for a can, nobody carries it.

I wanted one for my Shell collection, yes I work for Shell and can’t get one. Lol. Ironic isn’t it.

Anyone wanna sell me one?

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 02-14-2018, 02:42 AM

Thanks for the heads up, Grumpy.
I bought 2 quarts of Oil Stabilizer at .97 cents each at my local A/Z. They were out of the zinc additive, but the store guy called around for me. No luck, though.
So what do I use oil stabilizer for anyway?
He also said Rotella SAE 30 still had the right amount of ZDDP. I said I didn't know Rotella came in straight weights, I thought it was all 15W-40 but there was a couple gallon jugs of 30 weight on his shelf.
So is it true that Rotella straight weight oil still has sufficient amounts of ZDDP for our pre-catalytic/hydraulic cam purposes?

Shinysideup · 02-14-2018, 07:41 PM

Thanks Grumpy!!!
I went in for the zink but a huge number of items were $.97
Heres my haul from 5 stores, only took what I could use,much more left!

**Grumpy old man** · 02-14-2018, 08:42 PM

Looks like you scored

You probably saved a couple hundred just on the Shell additives ? I always check the clearance for the deals I'm going back to see if the gear oil is on clearance here .

Shinysideup · 02-14-2018, 08:49 PM

Grumpy, thats not gear oil, its oil stabilizer(black bottles). Only the "additive" section had clearance. I did score 150 quarts of oil two years ago for $1/quart when they closed out some items at end of year.
