Can't find Castrol 10w40

[Mike_Yi]

in the Chicago area. I've tried all the usual suspects (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilley/Murray's) as well as WalMart. They all carry Castrol Syntec, but none of them have 10w40. They either have 5wXX or 10w30. NAPA sells it by the quart for $5/qt! No way!

Anybody know of a retailer that actually carries Castrol Syntec 10w40?

I got my 10w40 Castrol syntec at Wal-Mart (Cleveland area). I was lucky in that they had 1 5Q jug and 4 Q. I think I cleaned them out.
The filter I picked up at NAPA.

Most WalMart's carry it in 5qt jugs...............

Ran into the exact same situation last month in NY. I ended up finding Mobil 1 10-40 synthetic for high mileage cars at Wallmart, not my first choice but the last two jugs of it. There was no 10-40 syntec in my town to be had.

Mike,
I ran into this same issue but eventually found 10W-40 Castrol at Pep Boys at Odgen and 75th street (Naperville) near Fox Valley mall. All of the local Walmarts didn't carry the right weight. Trust me I searched all of them!

Yeah. They had the Castrol, just not the right weight. The shelves weren't marked for it either. There is a PepBoys nearby, so I'll try that. Thanks!

I buy it at my local AutoZone in the quart containers...they don't carry the large jugs (haven't checked WalMart). I'll buy it when it's on sale for $4.98 qt and store until I'm ready to change in the fall (once a year or every 3000 miles in my case).
