There has been some rumours floating around that Mobil 1, 15w50 ( red top ) has been discontinued.
It is certainly not as easy to find in my area.
Any one know the scoop on this ???

I guess I was lucky. I was at a local Target store and they had the EP 15w50 for $3.69, the same price the red cap sold for. I bought every one they had (18qts,). I think this GC affliction is contagious. My garage cabinets are overflowing with oil. New cabinets are on the way.
