It looks (from a quick look at Mobil's web site) they
aren't making the thick stuff anymore (Red Top). :[)
Seems like it would be a 'find it on the shelf and
that's it' kind of thing.
I have seen (at Costco of all places) Chevron Oil in a
15W-40 'synth' version, by the case. I think it's the
Delo stuff spece'd as useful for the new turbo and
maybe diesel VWs.

Any reason this stuff (while not an actual synthetic
oil) wouldn't serve?
Wait, wait; they _do_ make a synthetic:

Oh poo, they only have it "Available in SAE 0W-30 and
5W-40 grades".
Oh well,
