Can anyone suggest where I can get VSOT? I've been to five stores with no luck. The last store actually called Valvoline for me and they stated that VSOT is discontinued because all of the additives in it are already in the Maxlife oils. I was just on Valvoline's website 2 minutes ago and the VSOT is still on there. Any suggestions?

It has been discontinued. I think it is now available as a professional oil treatment. There are sometimes stores you will still find it in. In my area in pittsburgh, advance, autozone are all out of it now where pepboys still has tons of it.
I have been looking at this new stuff they offer
http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/product_detail.asp?product=20
Its valvoline Synpower Engine Treatment. It claims:
SynPower Engine Treatment is a premium synthetic product, compatible with all motor oils, that helps motor oil with the difficult job of protecting engines especially at very high and very low temperatures.
* Helps prevent lost horsepower
* Helps maintain cleaner engines
* Improves oil flow at low temperatures during start-up
* Improves engine oil breakdown resistance
* Contains the most effective friction modifier
* Compatible with all engine oils
Part Number 068
Size 32 oz
UPC 74130-00068

I wonder if alot of these additives like VSOT and SLOB are now discontinued products due to the SM rating. SM oils are supposed to use much lower additive levels to make for "cleaner" oils.
Possibly, CD2 and Valvoline since being such large companies dont want to catch alot of EPA flack for offering products that can vastly increase SM add levels and make them similar to older oils.

In my area Pep Boys has plenty on the shelf.
Also, some have noted that NAPA stores will order it for you, but you might have to order a case (6? 12? bottles).
For VSOT???? I just got a bottle for ~$6 at pep boys!!
Advance in many places still has old stock of VSOT that it's discontinued selling. Many times it's marked down to at least $1.35 and you can sometimes find it's been put on the 1/2 off clearance table.
cfromc, the best alternative (though it doesn't have any moly) is SLOB.

both of which are discontinued.. what do we use after we run completely out of VSOT and SLOB?
What evidence is there that VSOT is being discontinued? It's still on the website. http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/product_detail.asp?product=21
There also is Powerservice Diesel Lube Oil Extender which has a healthy dose of zddp and is not too thick.
