Can't find Mobil 1 diesel!

I have checked O'Reilly's, Advance Auto, and Wally World. I simply can't find Mobil 1 turbodiesel or Delvac 1 anywhere. Anybody else having this problem?

Suggestions?

I read somewhere that they are changing the label again. I remember when Katrina hit and they were in the middle of changing the label. i could not find it on the shelves for about 4 months.

I just went through that last weekend - couldn't find it anywhere and 3 of my 4 diesels are due for changes. So I gave up and ordered some AmsOil heavy duty 15W40. Cheaper than the Mobil 1 (even after adding $20 to become a "preferred customer"), and it arrived the next business day.

Screw em, I'm switching to Amsoil.

The old 15w40 juice, not the new 5w40 MB spec stuff. I want that 12 TBN, since I don't have a CDI.

My uncle just made the deal even sweeter, he is like oh yeah I have been using that stuff in all my equipment for 12 years, I have a commercial account with them.

I have to work out a deal with him, maybe he can pay me in Amsoil next week.

Just use the M1 15W-50. It's diesel rated and can handle the Georgia winters.
