I noticed that a Walmart I was in has the 5 quart jugs of Pennzoil 5w20 (yellow bottle). I thought this was discontinued by Walmart.

Does your Home Depot still have any 5w20 Pennzoil left over from the closeout, maybe you can score a few quarts of 5w20.

I've not seen any of the 5qt PZ's around here. Our Home Depots have gotten out of the auto parts/pcmo business around here.

Funny you brought this up. Yesterday I read your post and though man I hope I don't have this problem as today was my wifes Fusion first oil change. Low and behold first Walmart no MC 5w20 or any for that matter. 2nd Walmart sweet 1 gallon but I need 1 more quart. I thought to myself there is alway somebody moving #@$%! around and mixing stuff up. I searched through all of the MC oil they had and the very last one in the very back JACK POT. I asked a sale associate to see when they would get more, he could get that info but looked up stock they showed 2 gallon which I had 1 and no other. He then checked werehouse stock and it showed 0 as well. He said who ever is making Fords oil is not getting it to them. I past by a Advance Auto none then past a Autozone and they had plenty of 12 pack cases of MC 5w20 so I picked up a case. Next paycheck I'm going MC 5w20 hunting at the 2nd Walmart and back to Autozone (Jugs would be cheaper).

AAP still has Pennzoil Platinum 5w20 on sale 2-4-1

AA had 5W30, 10W30 PP, but no 5W20 last night. Wound up buying the Q-Power 4x4 on the 2-4-1 deal. Same, same, but this was the first time I've seen that 5W20 was unavailable because of a sellout rather than the store simply not stocking it.

Mostly they carry 5w30 in all the stores. Usually, they have far more 10W40 than 5W20 for any given brand. I have no idea why..

Stocked up at Advance Autoparts when their Havoline was on sale for $1.55 per quart. I'm good until the end of next summer, maybe even fall.

As for the popularity of 10W-40? I just think of the popularity of reality TV.
