I just noticed and confirmed that Walmart is no longer carrying Mobil 1 15w-50 weight, do you guys know another source to purchase this oil at a competitive price?

i have been reading this on the forum lately.
i cannot wrap my head around using the same oil in my Porsche as I use in my Harley Davidson.![Confused](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
but based on the info i have researched on the forum i will probably go with it.
however, considering i do less than 5,000 miles per year, usually do the oil change in the springtime, but will drive the car into the late fall (nightime temps approaching 40 degrees) is the 20W-50 to thick for those temps?
should i stick with the 15W-50?

I went to purchase the V-Twin from Wally World today. Had to go to two separate stores because one ran out.
One store has the black container V-twin synthetic, and the other has the silver container. They both have same lettering/info. Anybody know if there is a difference??

I've noticed the packaging change, too. I sent Mobil an e-mail on the web site, never received a reply. Not a concern.

I bought my Turbo in November of 2009. In those 2 years (almost) I've done over 20,000 miles and 4 oil changes. 1 with Mobil Ext. Perf. 15W50 (first) and 3 with V-Twin. My Blackstone Used Oil Analysis have improved each and every time. My reports are excellent.
I'll be having the 5th oil change (and UOA) done in about another month. As soon as the report comes back from Blackstone, I'll make a post with the report.
Stay tuned.

They also have the hard-to-find Mobil 5W50 (I use in my Boxster).

When I do my next UOA, in October-ish, I'll post for the 993 Turbo forum to see.

Last week I changed my oil after using Mobil 1 0w40 for 6k miles and found "grey paste" on the sump plug, whereas previously there had been none.
I reckon I'll try V-Twin 20w50 next time, even though I did read an article on LN Engineering site that talked about the increased levels of Zinc possibly causing issues with the Cats.
Anyone experienced any problems?
