Where has all the Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck Gone

In some regions HDEO has been flying off the shelves as soon as the stores get it back in stock, seems to be some sort of general supply chain issues like many products these days.
But why is the rum gone??
I’m finding plenty of Rum, but it works like crap in my crankcase.
It’s gone through the roof price-wise
That is why with everything that is going on people like myself stocked up on oil, I am good for the next 6 oil changes. The oil hoarders on here must be sitting back and smiling.
It’s time to look for other options and extend beyond Walmart.
I was at menards today and had to check out the oil. I don’t typically shop there as the closest store is ~30 miles away. They pretty much had everything minus 10w30 T5. They did have T4 in both weights though.
My local NAPA has a decent selection too.

Just find some Mobil Delvac 1, similar to TDT.
I can’t use T4. My car requires Synth oil. Did they have any T6?
Yes.
Unless it really needs a full syn, T4 will be fine because it's actually a syn blend. It just might be missing some additives because it doesn't have the Triple Protection PLUS that the T5 and T6 variants have because it's missing the PLUS part of that.
One of my oil reps told me the HDEO supply chain issues are related to a zinc shortage. This particular company has secured enough materials to keep up with existing customers until end of December and they don’t know after that.
Synthetic HDEO is in pretty good supply compared to six months ago.
I saw a video the other day and the guy claimed that the additive package for diesel oil is out of stock and will be out of stock due to mineral shortages for 6-12 months. He claimed only two companies make the additive packages , lubrizol and chevron.
He claimed that this would and could be a SHTF event due to trucking shortages and major food and gas shortages from lack of deliveries …
Trucks have to be parked if they can’t get lubricants.

Wouldn't doubt this. Nothing surprises me anymore. Those folks thinking the economy -- and their general well-being -- are going to be getting better within the next year or two, are sadly mistaken. The next several years are going to be rough. Buckle up...
Reminds me ... I need to stock up once again on vehicle consumables, taking advantage of sale deals, now more than ever before. Moreover, I'll need to plan on another state lands firewood cutting permit, and start stocking up ASAP. I need to fell and split several cords. Ugh.
