Always in stock at WM in my area.
Is the full-syn version even worth the hassle to locate? Everybody loves the common blend version, and is the syn really that much better at anything?
The Full syn is better for extended drains than the blend.

Gotcha.
seen it at Meijer in my area don't know if you have any in your area. my wallys always has it too
The only place i can find it now is my local Meijer, wally used to have it recently but its out now and doesn't look like they are re-stocking it. If you do have a Meijer in your area they do sales around Christmas with santa bucks to make buying bulk a good idea.
5W-20 and 5W-30 listed as available at the O'Reilly Auto on 3310 West Roosevelt Road

If it's that tough to find, I'd just go with M1HM instead.

You must be looking at the synthetic blend Maxlife. Full synthetic Maxlife only comes in 5W-30 and 10W-30.

Basically if you can't find it at Meijer or Wally your screwed. You can buy it online at Amazon though.

$46.66 for a case of 6 = $7.77 per quart, unless you sign up for recurring shipments in which case its only $39.66 a case or 6.61 a quart.
For that kind of price though i would probably just get the Mobil 1 HM 5w30.
But you should be in luck, it looks like the Chicago area is plastered with Meijers!

Pep Boys has it here. A Wal-Mart about 50 miles from me carries it, you can try to search the Wally site and find it that way...

Does pep boys sell it in single quarts only or do they have the jug also?

Have you done the math to see if the cost difference per mile is enough different to warrant the cost or hassle to find it? I know you want to do extended drains, but if it turns out to actually be more money - is it worth it?
My local Advance Auto Parts generally has Maxlife in stock.
