I guess there's a motor oil shortage now
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.

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.
