Mobil 1 0W-40 Availability/Shortage

[Rapid Red]

1 out of the 3 local WalMarts have it on the shelf. I used to run it in all my Mercedes and found some there a month ago when I changed my oil prior to trading my Benz in for my MACh1. Don't let the brand guys fool ya....I have had 2 Benz's with a combined 600,000 miles on them using strictly Mobil 1 0W-40 in them and my 2013 E550 had 50,000 on it when I traded it in! Mercedes puts a Mobil 1 decal on the car for a reason! No oil related failures!

Only oil fails I ever see, or heard of, no oil and extremely old oil.

There’s supply issues by the company’s that manufacture the additives.
Lubrizol is one.
Not to many oil manufacturers/blenders make additives. Citgo is one of a few who manufacture their own additives and have not been affected by the shortages.
