Were running low on oil and antifreeze but, I just found out the distributor I have used for years went out of business right after my last order 3 months ago. I'm looking to buy for my shop, my store, and 2 other farm shops do a group buy. My guess at the order would be 50 to 75 drums (55 gallon) and 1,000 to 2,000 one gallon jugs. Numbers depend on the price.

I tried googleing it a few different ways but I'm not coming up with the right types of companies. I tried calling around but didn't have any luck. Is there anyone good with google give it a try for me.
 
We only need 20 drums for our shop right now. The rest of the drums will go to 2 other shops. 1,500 of the gallon drums would go on the shelf at my store if I can sell it cheaper then the auto parts stores and gas stations.

I don't have a leak problem. I do have a part time diesel truck mechanic and I stole a JD mechanic that's full time. They keep our stuff running and also do a good amount off work on other peoples stuff.

Maybe you should consider becoming a dealer.
 
We use all shell products and I had thought about it a time or two. I have called shell a few times to set it up but I always got a bad feeling. I didn't seam to fit in to there set up. I have ordered right from them a few times but they have a lot of hidden fees if you don't set up an account. I found it cheaper to deal with a local distributor but they went under. At the time I last called they wanted us to make monthly orders and not make 3 or 4 orders a year. At the time the shipping was a lot because of there warehouse locations.

I just tossed them down on my-to do list for tomorrow.
