this is the trend in my area by now, hard to grasp what is going on honestlyI have a feeling we are being played for the fools we are. I would do the M1 0w-40 though
I don't think its affected as much as oil shelves if anythingDon't be surprised if the stocking and shipment strategies of Wally and their suppliers doesn't escape review and revision.
I will stop in my Wally tomorrow to compare.
How was the battery supply, miden851?
exactly what our Walmart looked like last weekend. Very strange.... Why not just a few brands low? Do they all ship in the same trucks?I went to two Walmarts this evening and to my surprise found this...

if anyone's got a valid reasoning behind it, please chime in?
The opposite here, full of unsold, overpriced meat, very little oil.Made my biannual trec to my local Walmart today and the oil shelves were full. Meat dept shelves were nearly bare which concerns me much more!
When living in Midway, UT- I would send my Wife pictures of the empty shelves at the Heber City, UT, Wal-Mart in 2018/2019. I assumed at that time that Wal-mart could not get workers, or even a manager, that cared (or had any motivation). Empty shelves at Wal-mart may not indicate a MACRO shortage of goods.Don't use Walmart for any metrics on what shortages there are and aren't. Walmart shelves have been bare for years even before the pandemic. The shelves really only hold enough merchandise for a few days worth of sales and if the store can't hire enough stockers, you get bare shelves. I was at one recently at night and the aisles were full of pallets waiting to be restocked on shelves, certain sections were wiped out. Probably the best shot of finding one well stocked would be in the morning not on a weekend or near the beginning/end of the month and away from a holiday.
Mine was out of Mobil 1 0w40 though, although they did have 5w40 and also the 12 quart box of 0w40 but that was still $60 and the rebate works best on two 5 quart jugs. Might have to do a frankenbrew of 5w40 with some left over quarts of 0w40.
