Mobil 1 5W-30 SHORTAGE.
Its been a while since i've last been on here.......Hope you fella's had your full of turkey and all..........Question...Those of you who use Mobil 1 5W-30 Fully Synthetic. Have you noticed that there's a shortage of this particular grade of oil at Wally world?
Or is it just the Northeast corridor? One other thing, as i mentioned above Wally's world didn't have 5W-30 But, they did have a 0W-30. Reading the rear of the bottle it stated that 0W-30 is basically the same, if not better than 5W-30 in that it will protect your engine, and help you to conserve fuel.
Any inputs on the 0W-30? I'm about due for a oil change, and i don't know how long its going to take them to put 5w-30 back on the shelf....

Yeah, they shut down operations until the 1st of the year, so there are shortages in some paces. Guys on Egay are trying to get $12 per quart plus shipping for the asic Mobil 1...lol Not even the Extended performance. For that price, I'd go with RP or just Dino oil.
ow30 won't be any different for winter time use. I wouldn't use it in the summer time

Ebay is just a pain in the ***! For my bit I use Mobil 1 as well but if I can't get it I have had good results with Amsoil of the same grade.
