I sent a note to Mobil/Exxon about poor availabilty of their oils - this was
their reply:
<<Thank you for your inquiry,
You can contact Mobil at 1-800-662-4525 option1 and we can locate
Mobil Distributor's for you. Mobil hates to see consumer's switch over
to other brands due to product availability. You can also check with
Autozones, Pep Boys, CSK stores, O'Reilley's and online at www.avlube.com.

Thank you for choosing ExxonMobil products.
If you need further assistance, please contact ExxonMobil at

Dave,
If I had somewhere to put the big jug of Amsoil I'd be into that too.
My best luck lately has been with AutoZone. Most of the employees there
are idiots but I hit it just right the other day and got a guy interesting
in actually selling something who will ensure that if I call on Monday
looking for Mobil 1 the amount I want will be there Friday afternoon after
work. Based on Marshall's interpretation of my oil analysis results I
won't have to actually try this out for 6 months or so. Hope the guy still
works there then...

While running errands today I stopped in a 2 Wallmarts and 2 Advance
Auto stores and NONE of them had ANY Mobil-1 0W-40, 15W-50 OR 5W-40.
As much as I know you guys out there like Mobil-1, it just is not
worth my effort any more.
So I go over to the Amsoil site and see a selection of synthetics to
choose from. Given my current mood, I'm inclined to buy a 30 gallon
jug and be done with it and let Mobil rot in hell where they belong.
Does anyone have a recommendation as to which Amsoil is "best"?
Thanks
