VRP has a API SQ license

Might explain why the local WM hardly had any in stock when I went to go pick some up earlier today. Probably clearing out space for the new SQ product.
My Wally always has a hard time keeping it in stock.
Not mine. It could just be a coincidence.

Same - our Walmart is out again …
Just picked up some tonight for the 2017 RAV4, the SP "flavor" as I had to run out and check since this thread appeared.
Having been licensed does not mean it is available on a Wally World shelf.
Similar to the fairy tale ‘The Princess and the Pea‘. If u happen to find a 5qt jug of VRP SQ or that innocent princess u are extremely lucky in life.

I don’t think they really care about that, the people who do the ordering know little to nothing about motor oil. They just know that this oil is very popular so they are probably annoyed when they can’t get a large enough supply to keep on their shelves
SQ is a rolling change over. So just a label change.

I'm pretty much in the center of three WM's. The first one doesn't stock VRP at all, and stocks the Fram Endurance filters. The second is always fully stocked on every flavor of VRP and stocks the Purolator 20k filters. I haven't been to the third in a while, so I'm unsure of their current selection. I'm assuming that their inventory varies depending on the market area?
Understood. I purchased before I saw the thread, so I was just curious which one I got. Not that I was looking for it.Having been licensed does not mean it is available on a Wally World shelf.

If the RAV4 has made it 180k miles over the past 9 years on pre SQ oils, I'm sure it will be fine
I am going to go ahead and find every VRP thread on BITOG and bump all of them with a post about VRP now being API SQ. It's not enough to simply start a new thread about this minor and entirely predictable detail, we need to flood the site with this inconceivable revelation!
We have a similar issue in my area. One WM has all the oil selections you could want, in nearly every SAE grade made, but only Fram, AC-Delco, and Mopar oil filters. Another one about the same distance away has a dismal oil selection, even less in filter selection, and it's a bigger WM (go figure).
