Walmart is showing it in stock at a few local stores here, but as not available on their main website.

I've had 12 gallons on order from Walmart since Dec 27th. They keep saying it's been delayed.

As covid hit and oil/fuel prices dropped I decided to buy enough engine oil and fuel for 4yrs worth of changes..sadly I didnt stock T6 and I use t6 in many of my vehicles. I went to buy some more about 3 weeks ago and couldn't get any. Even universal tractor fluid was hard to find.
I did find mobile Delos on sale with a rebate so stocked up on that.

That sounds like me. I'll stock up for yrs use. Then when shortages appear, realize I didn't stock the oil I use in many of my vehicles......

I actualy stocked 8 12qt boxes of 5w30 synthetic for my gas vehicles. That same oil is $10-12 more per case now.

Yeah, my point was I would miss something critically important, as you did.

When the flu bug hit the U.S in Feb of 2020, we went out and bought 4 oil changes for each vehicle and tractors along with filters .
It filled the back of our truck. I also wanted a new truck but we held off (big mistake) so now we will just wait and see if prices come down soon.
I was not hording oil, as there was plenty on ALL store shelves throughout the whole country
I had a funny feeling about shortages back then, but I didn't see the vehicle shortage coming.

And this rationale is why there is a shortage. Just like the .22 ammo and toilet paper shortage.

If people would just buy what they needed when they needed it there would be this issue.

Tradosaurus, we live in a different world now than 2 years ago, people are rude and will fight you for a case of TP at costco.

If you don't buy it someone else will and sell it on the corner or Craigslist.
