that is a box of bulk oil used at shops. I suggest you find a parts house like parts plus or napa and order it from them.
I stopped by Autozone and O’reillys and they can’t order it by the 6 gallon….
Dealers have it in 55 gallon drums.

I’ll stop by Napa and see if they can get it.
Probably seems odd to most but, we have two Jeep diesels and two tdi’s all using this oil this would be too convenient!
Would help with a link so we can try out :)

I suppose if you lived somewhere in Tennessee this would be a great deal and you wouldn't have to pay 96 bucks for shipping. But still might be a good price for some.

Edit: too good to be true... the link said Euro, but then the listing does not. The search continues, but at least we know there's stuff like this out there. There's actually tons of 6 gallon Lucas oil stuff

if you have that much you might as well buy the 55 gal drum.

I would start doing a search for bulk automotive oil distributors in your area and start calling. I don't think it's a order online type of business plan these guys use.

You may need to setup a account with them.

You can also stop at a local repair shop and explain what you are trying to do and ask who they use as their oil supplier

Tdi’s are 5qts a piece- 6 changes annual-30qts
CRD is 7qts- 2 changes -14qts
Ecodiesel is 9qts - 2 changes 18qts
62qts 15.5 gallons a year…. Don’t really want to maneuver around a 55 gallon drum for 3 years. A 6 gallon box would be convenient.

local map doesn’t stock pennzoil- they are calling a distributor.

Yup diesel is 5w40…. I’m not seeing 5w20 on the box… nor on their site- as far as I’m aware pennzoil doesn’t offer a Euro 5w20 at all- just 5w30 euro L and LX??

Edit… I see, you are referring to the eBay link listed above. That would be a good option for someone with a bunch of gas motors. Platinum does a great job of cleaning varnish etc from the inside of gas motors.
