Just order online at walmart.com, and ship-to-your-local-store for pickup later.

... or, Advance Autoparts should be able to ship it in to their store or to your door via the internet.
Probably your best bet since its by a reputable experienced company, and its the exact specs your car calls for, and its got the prancing horse recommendation printed right on the label, a direct hit !

Mobil1 0w40 at walmart would work well. Royal Purple would be basically OK too, yet that is nothing special, and it normally costs a lot (marketing it with purple dye seems to entice some sheeple....).
You certainly can get creative, knowing the ACEA A3/B4 spec is met with a lot of 0w40 and 5w40 oils in existence.
I'd tend to favor a VW 504 oil in your application, such as Mobil1 ESP 5w30 with HTHS 3.5, right for your engine, would work with the new low-sulfur gasoline we finally have in the U.S. About the VW 504, Lubrizol says it is a little tougher spec to meet than the other German specs, so follow that
504 and you'll be fine.
