Default Where do you buy oil?
I live in a small town and it is hard to find 15W-50 at the local supply houses. Do any of you have this problem? If so, what is your solution?

I live in a very small town too. We have the area's Walmart. I go their sometimes for they do have the best price on 15-50. The local NAPA affiliate has it too. I do buy it here as well and the NAPA fellow orders the 5 qt. jugs for me. In a small town ask, and I bet the guy will have put on a truck from his distribution center for you.

The one thing I can't get here is Zerex G 05 coolant. Get it through Amazon.

About the only thing you cannot buy on Amazon is Russian brides and weird cream Randy rubs on his feet.

Napa sometimes has specials on oil... I got Mobil 1 15W-50 for ~6.25/qt on several occasions, bought all they had in stock (20 qts). Keep an eye out and then stock up.

Find the nearest jobber that will order in the Penn for you and buy three cases at a time.....
Works for me.
