As for where to find it, anywhere that deals with diesel trucks. (That's the part that confuses me, Rotella is for diesels. Maybe it's got better anti-wear additives?)
It's become a moot point in recent years, but classically diesel oils were used for many turbo cars becasue diesels almost always have turbos, whereas gas engines rarely do. They were considered to, having been designed for a turbodiesel, hold up to the extreme temperature / rpm of a turbo with less shear / foam and longer life than a 'regular gas' oil.
At least that's what I think.
