0-20W Oil - GreenHybrid

Tim · #1 (**permalink**) 09-29-2005, 07:37 AM

I need an oil change, and I cannot find a 0-20W anywhere. I know it's been discussed that whoever made it before was no longer making it. Does anyone know who or where I can get 0-20W?

Pennzoil is supposed to have one on the shelves very quickly. I called one of the scientists at Shell who said Wal-Mart maybe the first to get it. I have yet to find any. I hear Mobil will start making 0w20 again, but who knows when that will happen. I ended up cracking open my wallet and getting some from my local dealer.

Autozone (same goes with Pep Boys) still may have some in their back shelves, call up your local stores, see if they have any Mobil 1 0W-20 around. I manage to pick up 2 years worth by doing that.

Yea. Thats been up on their website for quite some time not. When I called Shell I mentioned that it is on the website and the guy I was talking to kinda got silent, then said "It's just like our advertising department to start advertising something before the product has even been released."Howard

Check a NAPA store, if you don't see it have them order it. They have plenty.

Tim - Bought another case of Mobil 1 0w20 from our local Napa store. I'll keep buying a case every few months until I see if the rumour is true that Mobil will start making it again.

Follow Up: My local NAPA had 360 quarts of Mobile 0-20W in stock, but not on the shelf. Even the clerk was surprised they had it. She wasn't even aware that 0-20W existed...

Bought a year's supply. :-)
