Exclamation Mobil 1 World Wide Oil Shortage

Hey guys - I've been a Crossfire owner for a while but never posted anything, flying under the radar. I thought my first post should be a good one!

I just talked to my local Chrysler Service Manager today... (visiting my car that has been in the shop now for a month - it takes over 3 months to get a new instrument cluster... long story). Any how my service manager said there is a world wide freeze on production of Mobil 1 synthetic, something to do with this summers hurricanes in the gulf.

I also confirmed this with the guy at Checker Auto, after buying 9 quarts of 0W-40. He mentioned that they will not be getting any more shipments of Mobil 1 in, what's on the shelf is it! And no word when new shipments will be coming in.

Has any one else heard anything about this?

I just had my oil changed at the dealer about 2k ago but wanted to have a plan B if the dealer is already buying Mobil 1 from Wal-mart across the street!
