Went by last night for aspirin, and of course, took that long hike to the back of the store looking for a deal on my next OCI, and...Nothing!
Stocked shelves, fully and completely, and in the whole section, exactly TWO bottles of PP 5W20. There was NO other 5W20 in any brand.
Straight-weight 30 and 40, every brand had 20W50, and primarily, 10W30 and 40. Fact is, there were hardly any 5W30 oils there, either. Motorcraft, M1, and ST had 5W30, but not Havoline, Castrol or Valvoline. I doubt 5W30 was even 10 percent of the stock there. And I'm not talking picked over, under-stocked shelves, they were loaded to the edges of the shelves, but except for the Pennzoil Platinum, 2 bottles, 5W20 at 5.80/qt. there was NO 5W20.
What gives?
