5w/20 availability?

[otis24]

So what is up with 5w20 motor oil? Is it just too new of an oil to be found anywhere? I was surprised that I can not find Havoline 5w20 at my local Wal-Mart (70 miles away) but the little Alco store here in my small town does stock it. While I am glad I can find it here in town, they usually don't have the best price unless I can catch it on sale.

Advanced auto parts carries 5w20 Havoline Pep boys carries almost all 5w20 conventionals.

Around here Havoline 5w20 is found in Autozone, Advance Auto Parts and some locally owned mom 'n' pop parts stores.

My Walmart just carries 5/20 MC
other weight TropArtic and Havolines
IMO its just a shelf space choice.

Order Amsoil XL 5W-20 and it will not only give you clean used oil analysis, it'll be "on the porch" in a day or 3 tops.

Well, I had to drive 40 miles to another state to buy Pennzoil Platinum 5w20 at a Walmart. I live near younstown, ohio and NOBODY stocks it!!!

Just buy the real good stuff from Pablo if you have to drive any kind of distance to get quality 5W-20 motor oils. You'll save in gas $$$ and time. It'll be delivered to your door free of shipping charge as I understand.

I recently switched to Castrol Syntec 5w-20, but my first choice was Pennzoil Platinum.

I went to PepBoys, AutoZone, Advance, and 2 Walmarts with no luck in finding PP in the 5w-20 variety.
