WallyWorld has Mobil 1 5W40 SUV oil!

I was looking to get a battery check on the TDI, and I noticed in the service area on the shelf was a row of 5W40! there was no price on it, so I went to the oil isle, and NO 5W40? I went back to the service dept, and they said it was just for the service crew.??? odd yes? no managers were on site, and They were closing up for the day, but I plan on being back there soon and checking more thorughly and gettin prices.
the bad thing was it was at the columbia SC WW, and I saw it there between hospital visits for my dad. Hopefully I will be back there friday, if not tonight. I also have a WW with service dept near me, and I will try to check there for some.

Ditto on the O'Reilly's. There's two in my town, one on the east side and the other on the west. The west side I never go to but I just happened to stop in there about a month ago and they had it! Two Autozones, two Wal-Marts, and one Napa didn't and still don't have it but now both O'Reillys do. I put some in last night. I bought four quarts over two weeks to ease the cost but guess who forgot to buy an oil filter on either one of those trips?

I switched temporarily to Rotella synthetic and now require no top-offs between changes and the car seems to run nicely. However I just bought 9 qts of Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck at O'Reilly's. I need the extended oil drain intervals.
