Exclamation Mobil 1 Synthetic Shortage??

Hi guy's, a week ago someone mentioned that the 18.88 price for a 5 qt container was a special at walmart for a limited time.I talked with a rep who orders the oil and filters for a walmart store here in connecticut and he said that it is the reg price on the 5 qt jug.He also mentioned that his hand held computer (which he showed me, had no quantities of any grade of the mobil 1 in their warehouse,which is probably why their may be a shortage down the road.People are buying it like crazy.I i just purchased the last 4 5qt jugs of the 5w-30 on the shelf.There were 2 jugs of the 15w-40 and 5 jugs of the 10w-40 left at lunch time today......this rep had no idea when it was coming in so i stocked up myself.

Last year our local WalMart had this same jug on "clearance" for $10.00. Needless to say, I spent $100.00 + stocking up. I'm sure I'll never see that again !

Out in the West, both in California and in Montana I know they always stock the 6 pack of Mobil 1 at Cosco and Sam's Club for about 23 bucks. I was just at WalMart in California and they had the new Mobil 1 - 5 quart for 19 bucks, around the same price if you figure out the per quart price. It has been going up everytime they have that 5 quart deal at WalMart. I have seen it about every 8 months or so and always stock up.
