You can get it at Walmart, AutoZone or most auto supply stores. It has ZDDP (zinc addative) that helps the wear and tear on the inner parts.

Funny, my "great wall of china mart" has Rotella in 5W40, 10W30 and 15W40....

I use straight 30 and even it is too thin. Have to hit up Autozone or O'reilly for some straight 40. I gave up on 15W40 for summer use, good winter oil for Dixie though.
