Check out AutoZones, lets say, in "economically depressed" areas of town...most of the folks that live in those areas go cheap on oil and wouldn't touch a 0W-30 with a 10 foot pole. Been successful in a lot of cities ;)

Wow - I hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it, that is where the majority of the stock was.

indeed Tissimo and i found about 15 of them in an AZ in a cracked out part of Miami on the way back from getting some parts. it popped in my head and he was like hell why not? went in there and there was a bunch of it LOL

the stock was cleaned out by Tissimo tho locally so i just use PP 5-30

I'm not sure if the second set of digits is a portion of the part no. or not. I think the guy who looked it up for me just used the first portion ??

Anyway - you should be able to call and have them do a search to tell you where there is some.

This is the 2005+ formula - still great oil. I haven't seen any of the old green stuff in a LONG while.

The only problem is shipping bumps the per qt price up into Red Line territory...you might as well use Red Line ;)

If you do ship, the shipping companies do not like to ship oil. Make sure all the bottle tops are tight and put the case inside a heavy duty garbage bag inside another box.
