They got this at my parts store for 60 bucks / 5 gallons. Quite a bit cheaper than rotella t4. Reviews seem alright, anybody run this stuff?

Yeah, I've seen it; AutoZone. I'm sure it's fine. I would run it if I needed it right now. Too broke after the C6 rebuild to get it ahead, plus lack the space for a 5gal bucket.
If you're worried about it, for just $3 more, you might be able to get Delvac if it's available in your area:

They might be clearing out old stock, hence the lowish price.
It is still out there though. Here's one in Yucca Valley, California and I also spotted it showing at one in Oklahoma.

I have never used that brand, some people do, it sure won`t hurt your engine.
What Cubey posted at Tractor Supply, $62.99 for 5 gal that is $3.15 a qt. or $15.75 a gallon.Plus Tax of course.
Goat
um, no? The $3.15/qt is correct but not $15.75/gal. You added a quart to every gallon, 5 instead of 4.
$3.15 X 4qts = $12.60/gal
$12.60 X 5gal = $63
$3.15 X 5qts = $15.75

You are right. 
Must have been thinking 5 because of the gallons when adding the quarts.

I just switched to it after using rotella T4 and now im having major oil consumption. I had to add 2+ qts only 650 miles after the last oil change. Previously i never had to top off between oil changes. Its not leaking and blowby is low/non existent. I will be switching back to rotella t4 and seeing if that resolves it.
Oils a consumable, just like welding wire.
But , short intervals are for a reason.

Interesting, since Rotella is usually the brand that gets the most consumption in IDIs. You could try running Delo for one oil change, I bet you have less consumption than either one.

Ill buy what ever is cheapest. My LuLuBelle leaks 15W40 so much, I told the boss I was seal coating the parking lot. And just like a VW bug: it marks its spot. I can usually run 600 miles before she leaks 1 quart. No blowby, but it does produce a vacuum at idle
