The company I work for now uses MFA 15w40. It used to be T3 15w40 years and years ago. Last shop was Rotella, then a house brand from a local oil supplier, and now Schaeffer 15w40. Once my farm shop is set up it will be Schaeffer there too.
What is your shops HDEO bulk oil?

I think it’s like 10 or 11 dollars a gallon in bulk, but maybe it’s went up. We get pallets of the same oil in gallon jugs for when drivers need top off or if the equipment needs topped off in between servicing. I’m sure the gallons jugs are a few dollars more.

We keep Rotella T1 and T4 in stock for customer oil changes, 15W-40 even in cold weather. All of our lease fleet get winter prep, grill covers and block and fuel tank blankets.
We get a rebate from SOPUS if we buy through Navistar, so it just makes sense. Had to do a short run of Delvac when the supply of Rotella was slim.

mobil delvac 15w-40 and 5w-40
Chevron Delo 5W40 and Chevron Delo 600 ADF 15W40 (pails only so far).
I used to work as a lube tech for a Chevy dealership, the 15w40 they had in our bulk tanks was Chevron delo 400. The 0w20, 5w20 and 5w30 was all AC Delco brand.
The trucking company I retired from was using Castrol Tection 15-40 when I started with them in 2004. In 2009 they changed to Mobil Delvac 1300 15-40 After the change our DPF problems reduced dramatically. That’s what they still use as far as I know. We always got it in drums and used cans to transfer it. PIA
Exxonmobil 10W-30 VDS 4.5 oil, that is what is says on the large storage tank we have. Its a Volvo specific oil but i suspect its just a Mobil Delvac with different name
Still rocking the Rotella t4 15w40 for all my 18 and prior trucks I service. Been using t6 5w40 on the 19 and up cummins occasionally t5 10w30
Today at Rural King I saw 5 gallon pails of Rotella T3 “fleet” 15w40 for $82.99. What’s difference between this and T4?
Thank You

Delvac, ExxonMobil products= #1 in Finland. Available in every store.
10w30 is only recommended for fuel economy. For any extreme climate hot or cold or towing ford calls for 5w40.
Ancient history but the shop I was partnered with (Diesel trucks only) we used Rotella 40w for the Detroit's and Rotella 15w-40 for the rest. There was no "T" back then. For filters we used Donaldson.
We don't have extreme hot or cold here and most of the diesel trucks (90%) are mall cruisers.
Also the 10w30 is for temps above freezing. In owners manual it states to use 5w40 in below 0 weather conditions. I even asked our Ford people near my work.
