Is $9.50 per gallon a good price?
John
yes
John,
And your source? :o

A truck stop north of Dallas has Delo 100 40wt on the shelf for $9.95 per gallon....so $9.50 seems to be a reasonable price. FWIW Delo 400 is also $9.95 per gallon, but doesn't meet the DD specs for a 2-stroke.
You may also want to consider using Exxon XD-3 40wt. It's ingredients are very similar to the Delo 100 40wt. I was told that it is approx $9.50 per gallon. Both meet the DD specs for 2-stroke engines.
Good luck, :)

it was $8.90 by the drum. I don't know where the stuff is refined but it would seem that the refinery price would be better. Given we drive all over H and back a barrel seems prudent when passing thru that town.

I think that's about the market. I just paid $166 for two cases + two filters out the door.
Like the salesman said, it ain't gonna get any cheaper from now on.

PS...a local Chevron Ddistributor wanted $12.95 for it.
Better price than I paid; $11.99 at the local parts store but I didn't shop around. I wanted to change the oil so I bought two cases (12 gal). Engine and filter took 6 gallons so I have enough oil to last me to the next change. ::)
Actually I don't know how much oil she uses. I wanted fresh oil and filter to start a baseline.
We use the exxon XD-3 40WT in all our Cat motors , Detroit, and Cummins and it works great. Also we buy it from our Case IH tractor dealer for $7.40 a gallon in 55 gallon drums!
The Exxon XD-3 is what Harper Detroit Diesel is selling here in Toronto.
5 gallon pail or 1 gallon jugs
