I had my 01 boxster its oil change 3,000 miles ago (during its 30,000 service) and I'm still waiting to add some 0W-40. Where is a good place to purchase Mobil1 0W-40? I tried PepBoys, Walmart and Target and though I haven't had to be too serious since the level is good I am thinking of being ready for when I have to add.

We run 15W50 with no oil consumption in 5K miles in the Boxster. I haven't tried the 0W40, but like spgribben007 said, I have not seen it anwhere around here either.

Maybe a special weight you can only get at the dealer? Like the $50/gallon coolant you can't find at an auto shop either?
