Probably the same reason the Total Quartz was discontinued & phased out-too expensive means slow (or no sales). AAP has a history of doing this-anyone remember the Mobil 1 Annual Performance closeout? You could get PAID for taking it after rebate! Good times...According to Castrol this oil is not being discontinued from their lineup. Then I wonder why it's being discontinued from the stores...
I'd be one of the don't recognize Total people. I can't remember last time I bought oil in an actual auto parts store (except the AZ "Honda" PS fluid) when daughters car had empty reservoir from rotted metal line.The thing is that everyone knows Castrol, on the other hand, only a handful of "ordinary" consumers recognize Total. I'm speaking American markets.
I will only used euro oil but maybe for emergency top up.Wondering if this can be used on a 2013 Mercedes GLK 250 Bluetec. I may just get the EuroCar formula instead. But this version may have an addictive package that's good enough for that application.
It's marked down to $18.85 here also .I just picked up 2 of the last 3 5W-20 they had at my local AAP. They had no other viscosity’s left. They also had the oil marked clearance at $18.85 per 5qt. jug.
How much was 5w30 $23.05 or 18.85It's marked down to $18.85 here also .

I took the bait last time AAP put Fram synthetic oil on sale, even though I didn't really need the filter. Still worked out to a decent price per quart for 0w-40 syn, but not a bargain by any means.I wish the Fram Oil 20k made by Amalie, would go on sale. It seems the only time this oil is on sale, is when Advance Auto Parts combines the oil sale with the oil filter. Some of us have enough oil filters to last this decade and don't need anymore.
Anyways, I want to try the 20k stuff at a good price, without that darn filter throw into the monkey wrench sale.
Maybe that's why Walmart stopped carrying itAccording to Castrol this oil is not being discontinued from their lineup. Then I wonder why it's being discontinued from the stores...
I actually visited a local store and they had three 0W-20 bottles on the shelf but when the guy behind the counter scanned it showed that they had zero inventory. He was like these bottles technically don't exist do you want to have them for free? I couldn't say no to the amazing offer! HahaThat's really good oil @ $18.85. I got good service from it and that doesn't happen much when switching brands.
Better than the black bottle stuff, which looked worn out at 3k in our 2.4 GDI.
Those that are buying Supertech Advanced 20k and Quaker State 20k for more money, should be using this instead.
