CNN Article on Motor Oil Shortage

[fantastic]

Over the years I have found certain oils out of stock at Wal Mart.

Not necessarily surprising to see certain flavors of oil not in stock at local wal marts. Lots of intense algorithms and vendor control , and contractual agreements that impact what stores get what oil, and the sense of urgency.

Quite sure Wal Marts in Southern California will always get the priority of fill for euro blended oils, when compared to a wal mart in southwest Kansas.

It's all about who gets what for sure but I don't think I've seen WM's "Low Stock" on this many engine oils so I can't say we're in a normal situation right now. I won't go as far as "Dooms day" either but it is getting my attention. I've bought my next oil change that's for sure!

You can see here the long list:
