Hi,

Thanks for everyone's replies. I tried to follow-up on several of your leads, but found that most retail outlets do not carry Mobil 1 in the 10W-40 or 0W-40 weights here, apparently due to low demand for it. Those few I did find who carried it wanted $5.99/qt. for it.

So, I looked up and contacted the Mobil/Exxon Distributor here in town, Lubrication Technologies. Turns out that they'll do Will Call sales to the Public and I was able to acquire it at $3.66/qt., minimum of 12 qt. purchase, so I have a couple extra for top ups. I pass this along because the savings make it worthwhile to see if there's a Distributor in your area. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
