Kirkland diesel oil

[Bobweb]

I happened upon enough free Kirkland brand 15w40 to do an oil change. Is it ok to use? Or should I stick with rotella?

Thanks-

I use it in everything I run. Cheap enough to compete with mobil delvac and my costco is never out of it unlike Walmart and Sam's don't have crap.

All diesel oils have the same additive package.

I've wondered the same about quality of the Kirkland oil, thanks for sharing your experience!

Diesel additive packages are the same in all brands of it. Only 2 or 3 companies make it.

There is word there Is an additive shortage on the horizon. 10 months or so of no oil additives being produced.

From what I've read about the Kirkland brand, be it oil, meats, and many household items, it generally is coming from top-of-the-line brand names under contract with Kirkland distributing .. Always read the specs on oil labels no matter what, if it matches Mack, Caterpillar, Mil-Spec etc listed for your truck you should be just fine

Largest oil company with most of private labels is valvoline, way down the list Quaker state and havoline/chevron.
Private labels with specs on label will be just fine to use.

My feeling on oil is stick with a good brand name oil. I have no idea who refines Kirkland oil, but I would bet it is a big refiner. I have used NAPA oil, which used to be made by Valvoline. I also use Delvac and Rotella, among other brands. Guys get all crazy about oil brands like pickup truck brands. Get a good one. That's it. With that said, MOST of us don't use our trucks for anything to make a difference.

Usually the bottle has a clue as to what major manufacturer produced the oil

Warren distribution made the Kirkland diesel oil I have. Did some research and it seems like good stuff. I’m gonna let er’ eat. Thanks for all the feedback fellas.
