I am trying to find 0-40 Mobile 1 here in Utah and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is there a compatible oil out there that is more prevalent?

You can use another brand as long as it meets the Dexos requirements for your car.

I can’t find it locally here either…so I just order it online and have it delivered to the house.

I still use the oil designated on the filler-cap of my '18, 5W-30 (never seeing a need to switch), and go on.

Easy to do - none of the stores around here stock the Supercar oil.

That is what I have been using. At the oil change last month, they Service Writer told me that they were now recommending 0-40 Mobil 1. He has always been up on things

The problem might be the fact that you're calling it Mobile 1 instead of it's actual name Mobil 1. I don't know why so many people get that wrong....

If you can't find 0w-40 oil you can use 5w-30 if you don't track your car:

From owner's manual:
If 0W-40 dexos2 oil is
not available, 5W-30 dexos1 full
synthetic engine oil may be used for
street use.

I just checked Advanced Auto Parts and Auto Zone near me and they both have it in stock. You can even order it from Walmart, O'Reilly's and eBay for delivery.

Order online is easy BUT you have to buy it by the dozen so if you don't mind having some extra, sure. That is what I did and packed the extras away for the next time. Next time came and I couldn't find it. WTF!!

If I can buy it at Autozone or Advance Auto, I personally prefer to buy the exact number of quarts and not have to have money tied up in the remainder of the oil and have it sitting on my shelf only to have to repeat the process and have another few quarts sitting on the shelf next oil change. I have had a whole shelf full of fluids between 5 cars, 2 watercraft, 2 ATVs, motorcycle and trike and then there was all the lawn machine fluids and various greases.

Both my 19Z and 23 Camaro (LT1) take the 0 40 ESP, now renamed Supercar. Amazon for several years, but a few weeks ago I got lucky. Had a corvette buddy go from a 19GS to a 25Z06. Bought his 4boxes of 0 40 and 4 filters for 130. Can’t complain
