mobil 1 truck and suv

my local walmart says they can not get it. i have seen many posts-stating that other members buy this oil from their local walmarts. just double checking before i pursue this issue further. thanks

My local Walmart carries it; and most of the others do too, but not all of them.

Try another store.

My walmart carries it. I believe it has to do with size/concept of the store. We have to walmarts within 40 miles of each other and the further away store is bigger and carries alot of other things. Try a "Super" walmart they will definetly have it.

M1 T&S is relabeled Delvac 1. Far better than amsoil 15w40 for winter time temps, since it's a 5w40. Anything under 10F, and a 15w really starts to lose out compared to a 5w in flow characteristics. Where I live about 3 of the 6 walmarts carry it. Look for the yellow cap.

I just wish they carried it in gallon jugs, instead of having to buy 12 individual quart bottles.

Nope! I have a Super Walmart and a regular Walmart where I live and neither one of them carries it. I've even ASKED them to start carrying it and so far nothing. Until they do I'll just keep running Delvac 1300.

Delvac 1 is sold on avlube.com and a few other sites.

As far as getting your walmart to order it - you need to find the automotive area manager. Asking the clerk won't get you anywhere. When I finally found the manager to my walmart's area, she was able and willing to order me any quantities of the m1 I wanted...this was a normal, not super walmart. So they have the ability, just asking nice and finding the right person is key.
