FYI. I just found Shell Rotella T1, 40 wt at Tractor Supply here in Tucson for $14.99 per gallon. Rotella T1 appears to have the same specs as Delo 100. Delo 100 is getting harder and harder to find and the last I bought was $18.99 per gallon at Orielly. I have also bought Rotella T1 at Napa for $24.99 in Florida.
$14.99 looks really good to me.
I spent a few minutes trying to find the ash content in Rotella T1 but only the older ash content could be found. They do meet the MIL specs for Detroit 92 series in all straight grades. Interesting to see how many HD transmissions use it.
So, 92 owners will need 5.5 gallons so buying 7 gallons should be more than enough to keep it topped up assuming a 10K oil change.
When you do change, install a quick drain so you can use gallon containers for the old oil and not spill. About $32 new, less for a used one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/i/172111290715?chn=ps

I use a valve like this on my Duramax and it works great, truck takes 2.5 gallon and my DEF jugs are 2.5 gallon so I just recycle them that way :D
I chose the Fumto transmission drain with the extended nipple to allow easy attachment of a plastic drain tube. However, I am "very" careful when I back up not to hit a curb stop such as at the Foretravel campground, etc. I did cut off about 1" to minimize this risk.
Breaking the drain off the pan would be quite disastrous.
