The quest for M1 5W40....

I went to Autozone, C.A.P. AND WallyWorld and could not find Mobil 1 5W40. Anyone know where to get it? I'm in Massachusetts near Boston.

Do you have any VIP stores down there? The VIPs up here carry it. If your intrested in the Amsoil 5W40 let me know, I can have it shipped to your door for a really decent price (close to the price of M1).

This oil is becoming scarce. I used it in my last oil change and the only place i know you can find it is Wal-mart. However, i went to the 1 at home and they didnt have it and i checked one of the Wal-marts here at school and they didnt have it either. This stuff is really hard to find. Its awesome though.
