Heads up to all you who use M1 oil....Search out and stock up QUICK!!!! I was at Advance auto today,and posted to front door was note regarding M1 shortage for the next few months at least-shelves were almost bare already.I have been hearing this from other sources also,something about Mobil not being able to produce any more until after the first of the year.

Oh noes!

I mostly use 15w 40 (I drive a Diesel) but I do run Mobile 1 in all of our gassers.

Thanks for the heads up .

Damn, that's interesting news. Currently running 10-40 High Mileage M1 but I guess not anymore. I work at an independent shop that sells Valvoline products and next door to an Amsoil dealer. I was thinking of going with Valvoline Synthetic or Amsoil next round anyway. I guess I will now.

There is a Mobile 1 coupon in the current Costco coupon book, I bet Costco has lots of it in stock for that coupon event.

Sounds like a marketing plot...We will see if they actually run out of oil. I wouldn't care anyway because I'm using Valvoline at this point and have 6 oil changes worth stashed.

Interesting news, but let's see if it really will happen. There is always another brand I guess.

Thx

I'll have to call up our parts vendors next time I'm in work and ask them about it.
