Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel 5w-40 Vaporware

Anyone seeing this stuff on shelves in your neck of the woods? I've tried Auto Zone, O'Reilly and Walmart. No luck. Computer checks show none anywhere close. What's the deal?

Apparently the Wix 51626 is also a rare bird. Took a bit of driving around to find one.

My local sporting goods store has 5w40 Amsoil on the shelf, at a surprisingly same price as non synthetic oil.

Special ordered case of the Mobile 1 (only 3 in case) via AutoZone & they had 1 on shelf as well. Picked them up last week. Hard to find Mobile 1 version. Also looks like can order thru Napa stores. All done in E TN. Looks like many diesel oil products hard to find, so plan & order ahead is my advice when possible. I also had several oil filters on hand.

Just curious: why a 5w-40? Are you in extremely cold climate preparing for winter?

 

[Rellimkram]

In NC mountains. Sometimes gets as low as single digits but usually lowest in teens. Use 5w-40 because that’s what suggested in owner manual (see section 23.16). That’s only real reason I use it. What do you use?

5w40 Full synthetic is the only oil spec'd by Mahindra in the owners manual.

Yes. That's why I'm using it.

Also I recall watching a video on YouTube where a Roxor company rep specifically says to use 5w40.

I haven't checked on the 5-40 yet. Have a stash at home. But the 15-40 I have been ordering through Costco for the truck and tractors. Have had no problem getting through them yet.

Picked up 12 bottles of 1 quart at Napa Auto today. Bought all they had of Mobile 1 5W40 diesel truck oil. Hard to find. AutoZone also got me 1 gallon size as well. Have enough for several oil changes now. But will still buy every bottle I can find

0w-5w-15w. It's all 40 weight oil. The first number represents cold operating of the oil. Once the engine get to Temps up its the range of 40. I would run 0w if I used my Rox in the winter. 5w I'd a good all around oil. 15w I won't even run that in my semi. Hope I explained this. The W means winter that's all. You can run either oil and it won't hurt just depends on your preference
