15W-50 Mobil 1 oil....
WalMart used to have 5 quart containers for ~$24, but I can't find a Wal Mart that carries it. It appears as though they quit stocking it.
Any of you guys had any luck finding any at that price?

Mobil 1 Racing oils
High performance motorsport formulas
Product Description
Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 and 0W-50 were developed specifically for racing engines and are not recommended for street use. These high performance, fully synthetic formulas are specially balanced for friction reduction and optimum horsepower with outstanding wear protection.
Features and Potentail Benefits
Mobil 1 Racing oils are proprietary formulations of low viscosity synthetic base oils fortified with a precisely balanced component-blended additive system featuring high levels of anti-wear and friction reducing additives. This advanced protection is engineered to help deliver optimum horsepower with outstanding wear protection. Features and potential benefits include:
* Boosted levels of anti-wear protection -- well beyond those of ordinary automotive oils -- to help protect engines even during grueling racing applications.
* Helps to maximize power output by reducing internal friction.
* Outstanding shear stability and a robust additive package to help reduce oil breakdown and help to extend engine life, even under some of the most extreme conditions.
* Compared to conventional racing oils and higher-viscosity synthetic motor oils, it provides faster flow to critical engine parts at low temperatures
* Helps to deliver exceptional high-temperature protection, even at temperatures in excess of 400 degrees F (204 C)
Mobil 1 Racing 0W-50 provides exceptional high-temperature protection in high RPM engine operation, even at temperatures up to 500°F (260°C).
Applications
Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 and 0W-50 are recommended for a wide range of race engine applications. Note: Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 and 0W-50 are not recommended for street use.
* Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 and 0W-50 are recommended for a wide range of race engine applications including highly loaded flat tappet designs such as NASCAR Cup engines.
* Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 and 0W-50 are designed for use by professional, amateur and weekend racers.
* Mobil 1 Racing oils are not recommended for 2-Cycle or aviation engines, unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.

I've been using Mobil 1 15W-50 in my race car. How are these new oils better/different?
Mobil 1 15W-50 is a higher viscosity oil that delivers a thick oil film for protection of high performance engines. While Mobil 1 15W-50 can be used and is recommended for both street and track use, the new Mobil 1 Racing oils are not recommended for general street use where vehicles use catalytic exhaust converters. Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 and Mobil 1 Racing 0W-50 are lower viscosity oils designed to protect the engine under high output conditions in high operating temperatures. Additionally, Mobil 1 Racing Oils offer boosted levels of anti-wear protection (nominal zinc level of 1850 ppm) for extra engine protection in highly loaded flat tappet engine designs like those used in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series.
