I was at my Walmart today looking for a jug of QS 0w20 and didn't see it on the shelf. Don't know if it was just this Walmart or at all of them? Anyone see it around?
 
Spend a few bucks more,,,,and get Mobil 1 0w20. IMO....Its a great oil and has a stronger additive package than QS. You get what you pay for.
 
I guess it's just my Walmart then. Get what you pay for? I hear a lot about how great this oil is for the money...
 
The first and last time I saw QS 0w-20 was about a year ago at Big Lots being closed-out. I thought to myself, they're closing out a product I never even knew existed. Talk about a marketing failure.

+1. QS is a fantastic oil.
 
QSUD 0W20 is available only at some Walmart locations in the US. Not sure why though. Probably has to do with demand.

I agree with some of the posters here. QSUD is a great oil and very good for the price.
 
We also have to remember that Walmart doesn't give two hoots about what BITOGers think of their oil selection. Their oil aisle is a tiny fraction of their total sales, and we are a tiny fraction of their oil sales. There's a reason there are a billion choices of 5w-20, 5w30, and 10w30 in Walmarts.

If your Walmart doesn't sell what you want or at the price you wish to pay, shop elsewhere. I'm sure there is a SOPUS distributor somewhere nearby that would be delighted to sell you QSUD 0w-20.
 
More and more cars are requiring 0W-20 - even the new GM V8 trucks. It will soon be the new "5w30" and available everywhere by everybody - give it a year or two.

Big Lots is the only place I've seen QSUD 0W-20 as well.
 
Compared to 2011 (when I started shopping 20 grade oils), there is a much bigger selection of oils here. In fact, most of the walmarts around here have the oils overflowing into another aisle!

There were a few different types of 0w-20 last time I went to walmart. The only one that meets Mr Ford's spec is M1 ... and that's too expensive.
