I really hope you didn't buy the oil. . let alone their line of BS. If they tell you that you must run their oil, they must supply it free of charge. Readup, there are laws on the crap! New Rotella formulation is for the new trucks!

Chevron Delo 400 is available in the CJ4 rating and Costco has it by the 6 gallon box but you can sometimes find it for less on sale at the chain stores. If I remember right it was around $6. 50 gallon from Costco. The Delo 400 was all I ever used in the 98. 5 24V.

Don't happen to have a legal citation on that? I am a student of law, teach it part time, and I would love to know of this. I don't have the time for an in depth search really, but anything one posts mentioning the law like this should come with a citation.



Thanks!!
