Oil

Was in Walmart today and saw some T6, a lot of T5, and a whole lotta motorcraft. Didn’t get any because I don’t need it but maybe it’s getting better out there?

My local Walmart seemed to have about everything non-grocery. Until I wandered over to the sporting goods to look for ammo.

Nada, nyet, nope, nothing.

But plenty of car stuff, including oil.

Depends on where you are, my local walmart was almost completely devoid of any diesel oil last time I was there.

Just got my oil changed, and again they had a problem finding the 10w30 super duty oil.
They finally found one source with enough in stock to do one oil change.
They told me the Motorcraft 10w30 is on national backorder.

I ve run Motorcraft in my 17, 10-30, since day one. If they don’t get it back on the shelves I guess I ll try something else that’s approved.

Not gonna get held hostage over it, lots of other good oils. Frankly I m getting tired of manufacturers blaming Covid, blaming this, that, etc. When I was working we were “told” … Figure it out; that’s what you re paid for! We ve already got plenty of problem identifiers, we want problem solvers! Times have changed.

The last time they changed my oil, they couldn't find any Motorcraft, so they ended up getting Rotella T4, which was just fine by me, it is on Ford's approved list.
