Is walmart not selling SAE 30w oil in the gallon?

Either they are sold out or two of my local walmarts are out of the gallon of SAE 30w single grade oil. Wondering if they are dropping it from the shelves.

Noticed another web site has it with free shipping. https://www.automaximizer.com/produ...ventional-sae-hd-30-motor-oil-1-gallon-bottle

On a walmart search, only thing that pops up is their bar and chain oil in 30w. I don't want that. Guess they quit selling it.

They DO have SAE 30w in the quart size.

Shell Rotella T1 SAE30 will work in its place.

Bought the very same oil last time. Like 6 bucks more per gallon over Supertech. Might be going to 15w-40 for the mowers if wally's pulled the SAE 30w gallons off the shelf.

That Shell stuff isn't even synthetic. Not that it really matters in a mower.

The problem is that it has to order online. So if you need it say today then its only quart bottles.

Synthetic isn't necessary.
Motorcraft 15W40 Super Duty is a good oil.
If you must have synthetic, Mobil 1 15W50 is a good choice.

Hi Slomo,

SAE has outlasted its usefulness in modern engines.

If you are in a cold climate, 10W 30 is the better choice. The manuals that state SAE 30 were printed 50 years ago when that oil was used in practically everything. My 1963 JD 3010 calls for SAE 30, but I refuse to use it when there are better oils being produced.

I've seen SAE 30 come out of a quart bottle when below freezing and it flowed like STP oil additive or Motor Honey on a hot day, it was thick. If it flows that slow (bad), imagine how long it takes to lube a cold engine.

I wouldn't use that Lube King in anything other than an air compressor.

Super Tech and Rotella are available at the local wally world in my area for $18 gallon in 30W and they sell fast. I cannot make a trip just to get a gallon, I have to grab when I see it on the shelf.
(no multi grade conventional available in gallon jugs at Walleys.)

I'm thinking of going to a blend type in my old auto's since conventional oils are becoming hard to acquire.

Most of today's so-called conventional oils are synthetic blend.
There are outliers like Valvoline VR-1.
