My Costco running low on 0W-20

[scip5.3L]

Very little 0W-20, they brought in 5W-20 but it is not Dexos.

Probably in hindsight it was poor business timing for them to run a big sale on this right as it hit the fan in the middle east.

Us hoarders though, we made out pretty good

I've never seen 5w20...

That 5W20 needs some luvin’

They’re just saving money by not sticking the dexos cert on the 5W20. No way could anyone taste test the dexos cert only could ask to see receipts

Is $35.99 the sale price or the regular price?

At Costco? Or in the wild?

I stopped at two Walmarts today. They're running low on Highline Warren as well.

They finked out in the last couple days of the sale, said none was available in my zip code.

I see they have it though, LOL.

I came out ahead with the Amazon Quaker State being yet cheaper, albeit leakier.

I think that's the normal price. I paid $29.99 on sale for a two-pack in my warehouse. But you could get a 4-pack online for $53.99 so I bought one of those right after!

 

[bdc101]

Going online there is very little of the Kirkland stuff left in stock. I haven't been to my local warehouse in a couple weeks though to see if there's any left.

Fords use it.

At Costco. I service 2 2008 CR-Vs that use 5w20. I would never cheat and put 5w30 just because I have it on the shelf...

Any yet you don't report on TP ???

Today I saw at a local Costco in Cambridge Ontario that BF Goodrich has now got the concession for wiper blades. Michelin is gone!

 

[ckinch1]

I will say shelves aren't looking as bad as I'd anticipated, at least not yet. Let's hope it doesn't get as bad as they were thinking.

Fords use it.

I'm originally from the Midwest where seemingly everyone drives an F150. When Speedway stations (Marathon) started carrying their own branded 5w-20, you knew it was mainstream.

 

[ctechbob]

Fords use it.

And Honda going back to the early 00's.

This could go either of two ways the extinction of super thin oils or the drive for further ev growth.

Other more informed BITOG'ers may chime in, however I don't think any 5W-20 has ever had a dexos1Gen2 or Gen3 certification. Maybe a Gen1.

EDIT: I did a more comprehensive search and found numerous 5W-20 Gen3 oils...

Interesting you bring this up I had a 2014 Chevy Spark which was factory filled with and printed on the oil cap 5W20. I was using a CAM2 Synthetic at the time I just can't remember if this was a Dexos oil, based on a Google search there's mentioning the 2014 Spark was a Dexos recipient. Must have been this product line at the time but was purchased in 1Qt bottles. Cost cruncher 0W20 phased out the 5W20 Dexos cert at least from Mobil's standpoint.
