Usually I go to a auto parts store but at 6 PM they were closed and the car needed a quart of oil . I am due for an oil change anyway so I was left with the short term choice of 10-30 or 15-50 . Given that it's been 86-90 degrees steady these days and humid I opted for the 15-50 .

Anyone else find it hard to get the 0-40 ?
I'm wondering if it's just so hot and humid that it's not popular here .

Also I'm paranoid parking my Civic in the Walmart parking lot. All the obese people with 6 kids, swinging doors wide. I can't imaging rolling up in a 911 just to get cheap oil.
