Can't find 30W oil anywhere in my area, or on line.

I'm looking for Castrol 30W oil and cannot find it anywhere, on-line or locally. I've checked AutoZone, Advance, O'Reilly, Walmart, Lowe's and Home Depot. So I decided to try for other brands, brands I recognize, not this cheap unknown stuff. The only straight 30W I can find is Super Tech but I have seen the independent wear test run on it and is ABSOLUTELY NOT as good as the nationally-recognized name brands.

Did you try NAPA?

Since the oil I use comes from forests and jungles of millions of years ago I am going to say that it is plant based and that makes it OK with the hipsters and I feel good about saving the environment while I use almond milk in my latte.

Most useless thread ever. LOL

My oil is still better than your oil.
It's even better than @Hammermechanicman 's oil.

I always used non-detergent 30W in my car wash pumps. Napa carried it under their own brand name. One of my washes was near a Tractor Supply store and I usually just bought it there, under their store brand "Traveler".

Super Tech is as good as any oil marketed.

You have my permission to be of that opinion.

Yes, but my thought on that is for such a specially purpose he should have to go somewhere like a hardware store or a supply house to get it. It's not something that Walmart should carry on the shelf and ESPECIALLY not right next to 10w30 mower marked for lawn mowers and two-cycle oil.

It's just nuts and it demonstrates they obviously don't understand where and how this oil is supposed to be used.
