   Conventional oil hard to find?

   Kids are on spring break so I changed their oil & filters.   
      
   Bought Costco oil but to my surprise they no longer sell dino juice.   
   Bought Mobil 1 oil filters at Walmart but they also had no dino juice.   
   Went to O'Reillys but their conventional was more expensive than synthetic.   
      
   I had Costco look up who had conventional oil and it turns out they   
   discounted their last cases of Chevron 10W30 SN & 10W40 SN conventional oils   
   to $9.97/10 quarts more than a year ago and haven't sold any conventional   
   motor oils since then at any Costco in my area.   
      
   Huh?   
   Since when is conventional oil hard to find in bulk?   
   Is this a new thing?   
      
   I'm not complaining or even asking whether the $25/10 quarts Kirkland fully   
   synthetic 5W30 SP oil is good or not as I know all about synthetic oil   
   advantages & disadvantages over conventional gasoline engine motor oils.   
      
   I'm just asking if you've also found it hard to find conventional oil by the   
   case at good prices (which means at your local Costco or department store)?
