Getting ready to do maintenance on the ZTR and oil change on the Corolla tomorrow so went out to pickup (3) 5 qt jugs of Mobil 1 15w-50 for the ZTR hydro, (3) jugs of Rotella T6 5w-40 for the ZTR engine and two of the motorcycles, and (3) jugs of Quaker State Full Synthetic 5w-30 for the Corolla and the Ridgeline which I'll do next week or so. After going to Walmart, Sams, Rural King, and Tractor Supply, I came away with one 5qt jug of the Quaker State and that's all I could find. Other than that one jug none of the three oils in jugs, qts, or T6 even in 5 gallon pail.


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Yes, sure is. Here is some recent info, might give you some help to find such:

I just managed to get enough oil and filters for both vehicles for a next change.

Thanks, I missed seeing those earlier posts or I would have not waited so long!
OTOH there are bottles of basic 5w-30, 10w-30, and 0w-20 on the shelves so I'll switch brands for the Ridgeline. The diesel oils really seem to be scarce.
