But...

Oriely Auto Parts, Advance Auto and Auto Zone all carry it. Last time I checked I think it was around $7.50/qt?

__. I was in Kinston March through May of this year; never in the WawMott stores there, then. O'Reilly's seems to have it about $6-8 a gallon more than the price when it was at dah MawMott.

$21 here in So Cal--used to be $24 and they dropped it right after I bought a gallon.

I have not seen it in the Walmart near me. I gave up looking for it in any other stores and now I order it online from Amazon.com. I actually just bought 2 gallons for $60 which works out to approximately $7.50/qt.

After many long conversations with the Wal-mart STORE (not department) managers, I have been educated to the fact that WM operates on the bottom 5% principle. This means that whatever is selling and bringing in less than 5% of any department revenue, that item is replaced by other items or mor of those items that sell in the higher % of sales. It does not matter that people with turbochargers need 5-30 or 5-40 oil. If 10-30 and 10-40 is getting by far the majority of the sales, the 5-30 or 5-40 is gone. I have shown the managers my owners manual and they say "Gee that's too bad" you will just have to get your oil somewhere else.
They don't understand what this translates to.
I purchased my last 3 sets of tires "somewhere else". I buy my beer, milk, bread, and red meat and chicken "somewhere else" now too.

Here in the "stix" Mobil One 5w40 TDT is available on the shelf in 1 gal containers @ 21 per container or 5.25 per qt.

The WM store on Golf Rd. in Niles, Il also has the one gallon jugs @ $21.00, and their shelf is well stocked. I finally remembered to look, and since the store has just been completely refurbished; this was not an easy task. The beer is all the way on the other side of the store, but I digress.

All kinds of people shop at Walmart. Rich and poor, young and old, the salt of the earth and the scum of the earth.

My local Walmarts (Portsmouth, Somersworth and Rochester) all seem to have stopped carrying it, but I found several choices at Advanced Auto Parts, and Robbins carries Pentosin brand stuff, even the G12 coolant.
