Unhappy 0W20 current availability?

I cannot find Mobil1 0w20 anywhere in my area. Is everyone having this problem? Does Mobile1 have a 5w20?

I heard hurricane Ike damaged the facility where it is made and there is a shortage currently.

I cannot find any brand of 0w20 in the Indianapolis area currently.

Looks like 5w20 Pennzoil synthetic or Castrol synthetic since that is all I can find. Thoughts on these? I used Castrol synthetic exclusively in my Dodge truck for years with no problems.

Has anyone found Valvoline or Pennzoil synthetic in 0w20?

"My" WalMart (suburban Phila., PA) had NONE last week. They had a sign up where it should have been about Hurricane Ike causing the shortage as UWAdventurer heard.

Things should be getting better. The Mobil facility that makes their PAO lubricants is just now starting to get back into production. They make a large portion of the PAO Grp. IV base stock in the country.

My local WallyWorld is now starting to stock up with several brands that were running low but the price is very high compared to before Ike. 5 Quart jugs of Mobil 1 are $26.00 instead of the 22.88 to 23.90 that I paid during the summer. I am glad that I stocked up back then.

Our Wally in New Mexico was out for over a month. I was told about some storm and a warehouse problem. A few weeks later they got some in. This included Mobil 1, 0W-20 which I use. I stocked up 5 quarts for my next oil change which was a few weeks away.

I see Wally is out of the 0W-20 again. I usually check on each visit and will buy 5 quarts more when they get some in. I never called any of the Auto Stores to see if they were out of their Mobil 1, 0W-20 stock.

Have you tried your local Toyota or Honda dealership?
They should at least have the 0W-20 in quarts.

Of course, there is the ENEOS brand!
Here are a few distributors in Indianapolis:

Also, here is the full list of API approved 0W-20.

I had mine service just before Thanksgiving with OW30. Dealer didn't indicate there was any problem with requesting OW20.

I have not tried the dealer, not found of paying inflated prices. Thanks for the link and info. Has anyone found Mobil1 0w20 or 5w20 in 5 quart containers? No such luck here in Indy.

Our local Toyota dealer sells the toyota brand of 0W-20 oil for about the same price as the mobil-1 from the auto stores.

I may have to check the dealer then. The dealer I purchased the car from uses 5w20 synthetic blend. I prefer full synthetic.

Anyone found Castrol, Valvoline, Pennzoil, Quaker State in 0w20 synthetic? The best I can find is Castrol and Pennzoil 5w20 synthetic.
