Default Which Rotella Oil?

Doing a list of stuff before the Fall Meet (hey, everybody get in the thread and check in if you're going or not, right now it's Jim and myself).

Not wanting to spend $19-21 on Rotella T6 synthetic (yes, that's what my local walmarts charge), what is their equivalent conventional oil?

Yep, they usually put the big bottles somewhere else. It's close, but not in the same place.
BTW, my buddy just told me they have more drums of Rotella at sam's club again. LOL...

So now that that's taken care of (and I found a bottle of Syn Rotella in the shed), what filter can I get away with using without going through a dealer? (on my last filter)

And I got a burner bike (takes 4 qts, gives back 2 qts.)
