Well if you were getting the Delvac 1300 at $16 a gallon that is better than here. We are at $97/ $5 gal for 1300 and Delvac full synthetic is the same so I think something is a bit off on the website. The Rotella T6 is $73 for 2.5 gal.
It's like sauce. That **** sticks to everything mang.
T6 is way cheaper here last I checked.
2.5G was 46 or 48. Might have went uo since last winter. I'm not running my diesel truck right now.
And now over 25$. It was like 16$ a couple years ago. The 362 was about 760$ couple years ago then went to 810$ right before I bought it and now is 909$, I’m going to start mixing with veggie oil and just run the full stihl stuff with my 49” bar

Buchheit's has the Mystik green label bar oil for $7.99 if anyone is in the SW Illinois/SE Missouri area. They had a couple pallets of it at the Jackson store over the past weekend.
I wonder how good that oil is?
I use canola oil on the 60" csb with zero issues. This year it is going in all the tanks for milling and axillary feed systems.
Csm? Maybe I’ll look into veggie oil with hydraulic oil. Not trying to say you’re doing it wrong or anything, I just like the idea of a little tackyness
Was in Northern Tool today and remembered that I was down to less than a half gallon Of bar oil. Price on synthetic Stihl was $26.99 and orange jug was $24.99. I had been using the synthetic for several years as my saw shop quit carrying the orange jugs. I never could tell a difference anyway. Is there any good reason to use the synthetic over the other? I’m going to start looking in other stores as well for other brands that y’all have mentioned as this pricing is nuts 
That's good oil. Used to get it at Orscheln but it's gone. The purple Poulan Pro at Menards is the best I've ever used. It was $8 on sale I think.

Our Orscheln store is gone. It used to be Fleetway 50 years ago and was the only farm store in town. Probably 20-25 years ago it was bought out by Orscheln but remained a good store. It was not long after that Farm and Fleet came to town. The Orscheln store closed in 2018-19 or so.
Tsc bought all the Orshlens and had to divest so many for antitrust laws. All ours were sold to Bomgaars recently. I never thought tsc was that great, don't understand how they are the biggest. Our Orshelns were originally Baileys.
Bought 14 gallons last year. It's a little thinner then the proline select I was getting, but not winter oil thin. Haven't noticed any more or less bar wear. Opened gallon 8 last week. It works. Got it from farm and fleet, but for whatever reason they stopped offering the free shipping over $100.00 deal on it, so I'll be looking local again when I need it.
$16 per gallon for the cheapo Super Tech stuff a Walmart today. Can't imagine.
I've been using Tall Timber bar oil for as long as I can remember. $29/2.5gal right now. I add a little hydraulic oil in the winter as it seems to flow better as this stuff is sticky sticky.
I used to buy it by the case Itasca, that is at Sams Club. That was before all the covid stuff, ever since then I have never seen it again.
