I was getting worried when my local Walmart had not stocked up on GC in a few weeks, and only had the old stuff leftover, especially since someone in my car club claimed to know someone at Walmart's head office who said they would not be buying more GC 0w30 when the current supply was all sold.
But this morning when I went to my local Walmart, I found 12 more L of GC (and believe it or not someone bought up the old stuff, even though some of it was the very old style bottle from 5 years ago!!), and it's from a very new batch number not seen yet:
M033246B2510513 TIME STAMP 03:40
So, this gives new hope that this oil will indeed be sticking around after all.
Has anyone in the US bought any recently which has a batch number like this? (or similar to this) Until this morning, my entire supply was all from batch number M030426B T/W1240607
I wonder if this new batch number will finally be free of any iron in it?
I kind of regret buying so much, as I'd rather start using the latest batch from now on, but I also worried that they would stop selling this oil too, which is why I bought so much. I suppose I could use up my 46L supply of the old batch in my dad's car and my wife's car though, and just run the new stuff in my own.
