Mobil 1 does not bottle 0W-40 in 5 quart bottles. I have implored them to do so in several oil tech sessions.

I spotted a big jug at Wal-Mart this weekend (a store I avoid like the plague but unavoidable sometimes). I picked up the jug and read the label to be sure. It was the first time I'd ever seen a 40 weight on the shelf there, Castrol or Mobil 1 in either quart bottle or jug. Ditto for Costco, the Euro formula is tough to find. Even my Autozone doesn't always have at least 10 quarts of Castrol Edge 5-40 or 10-40.

again, to avoid controversy but just as an FYI for others to do their homework, I believe 0-40 is somewhat controversial for this engine according to the opinion of some engine experts who have posted here.

I'm glad you posted that PL, kind of second guessed myself when I read Paul's reply. I thought I had seen a jug of M1 in 0W40 in eastern Ohio, wasn't exactly sure but kind of remember being surprised to see it, can't swear to it now.

Yep, Castrol Syntec / Edge is what I would be running in a M96 motor if I still had one. I spent too many hours perusing the oil debates online, people who I considered "experts" more often than not suggested Castrol Syntec.

Regarding Walmart we are also in total agreement, you may be interested in reading "The Bully of Bentonville" by Anthony Bianco....rather eye opening. C'ya PL.......
