Very recently. My local WM just made space for it on the shelf, but none in stock yet.
Apparently mine did just this week as well as 5 quart jugs of M1 0w40.
Middle of last week, near me.Plus the addition of Shell Havoline Reg and HM in 5+ jugs. Really threw me off ...Thought i was in the wrong store for a sec.
Wholly carp! lexus114 - hope you read this. You were right all along! I'm a long time M1 HM user, but unfortunately I can't use this one.

I never doubted you. I'm just surprised they would create a HM oil thats a 20 at operating temps. Why I can't use it. I would leak and consume a synthetic 20 weight from every gasket, ring and seal of that engine. I tried. I use HM oil for its intended purpose. Oil leaks and oil consumption. Both get worse at operating temps. I want a (0w,5w)40 High Mileage oil, they going the wrong way for me and probably most that use HM oil to solve problems.
I'm gonna try it tho, maybe the combination of swellers and the 20 will work.

In the 2az-fe? I have a little over 100,000 miles using mostly 5-30 and currently 5-20 and I don't get noticeable consumption either way. I have a shorter OCI of 5000 miles, not sure if that's why. I guess in another 150,000 I'll let you know!

If your 2az-fe runs ok with the 0w20/5w20 back spec there's no need for a HM oil at all. But some day you may need a HM oil because of a leak or oil consumption. And thats when a 30 or 40 weight makes a big difference. All I was talking about.
Only reason I use HM oil is for its intended purpose. IMO this oil was made for sales. The "use over 75k" crowd that buys into the marketing and does everything by the book, afraid to change weights. But I plan to find out.

I haven't seen the M1 0W40 in the 5qt jugs yet. Great deal at this every day price on 0W40.
OMG!
So cheap! 25 bucks for 5 quarts!
You guys are so lucky to have access to such cheap oil.
You pay that amount for 1 quart here down south in Montevideo!

The better question is when did XOM start making it? If you go to the mobil 1 webpage, they don't list a 5W20 HM yet.
To this day, XOM doesn't know it makes it. A number of us contacted XOM about it earlier this week and were told that it doesn't exist.

Just got back from the local Walmart. And for the first ever I saw an employee stacking oil..it was..the oil girl! I asked about M1 HM 5w20. She said no shipments yet. Then I asked her why the M1 HM shelves are always empty. She said M1 HM any flavor is the best selling jug by far, everything else is a distant 2nd. She put 5 pallets out 2 weeks ago, theres only 5 jugs left. I don't see any M1 HM 5w30 in those pics either!!!!! But I see M1 0w40! OMG!
