no it's not at Wal-mart but I have gotten it at NAPA and seen it at Autozone,Shuck's, and so other auto parts stores. Wish Wal-mart would carry it in the 5qt bottles all the other Mobil1 they sell comes in.

Did they quit making this oil? Just noticed that I haven't seen it in any stores for quite some time.
It was still listed on their website this morning (5-9-2004).
I had been noticing 0w-30 was gone from Kmart when I'd occasionally check what they had there. I thought they had narrowed it down to the Mobil 1 'big 3'. That is 5w-30, 10w-30 and 15w-50.
The last several times I've gone they did have 0w-30, though it seems there's never a very big stock of it on the shelf. It was also included with their $4/quart specials Kmart has on mobil 1 every few months or so. Works for me.
Maybe seasons and regions have some effect. Oddly enough, I saw it recently on the shelves at our Wal-Mart in Pensacola, FLORIDA of all places. I actually got some back in late December and ran a 5k OCI with it (yes, the 0w-30), since I knew I'd be traveling North during that interval. You'd think it would be more readily available up north vs. down here. . .
That is an awesome Mobil-1! I used it once in the Stratus I had. On some very cold evenings (-10-15'F), the car started like it was July, while other cars were struggling. It was great! I haven't seen it in my area for quite some time...except for some old Tri-synthetic bottles. I really would like it back! Does Mobil have any reasoning to this...maybe the 0-20, 0-40 and 5-40 oils are trying to take the place..??
From what I've read and from my own experience, Mobil1 0w30 is a great ACEA A5 oil, especially for winter use. No need to change it come spring, either; it also does well in the summertime under normal conditions.

I ran it this winter in my '02 Ranger. Just changed it out last week and sent in a UOA sample. K-Mart in my town always has a bunch of it.
I doubt that the general public know anything about GC! I can not even find it in my area.
