Every Walmart here has Mobil 1 in that weight as well as Advance, Orileys and even (Horrors) Autozone...it is just not that hard to find. Still $25 for 5 quarts here....and we are not trying to be the north end of a south bound horse....it is just easy to find.

At the Wally worlds up in my neck of the woods they only carry 0-W40 of Castrol and Mobil 1. No stores carry Motul. I have found Motul 8100 on amazon $50 for a five liter jug.

I was just on walmart website, no luck on the 5 40 except for diesel. The guy who did
ims went motul 5w40. Prior to that 2 changes no weight listed, Brumos, no weight listed, needless to say super frustrated.Maybe walmart was out but I did not see empty spot on shelf nor did the other 2 stores carry it. So reluctantly I posted the question and sure enough as with all oil questions whamo! I was going to just use 10w 40 because that is what the OWNERS MANUEL said when I finally looked (duh)after all the answers I got. However, curiosity killed the cat IM DEAD! AS far as 0w 40 sure if that is what you guys think. please supply link for 5w40 on walmart site in Jax Fl if you please Thanks in advance
