A person used to be able to purchase it in the diesel oil section, the 20/50. Then is seemed to go missing form the shelves, and I only found 15-50 no matter who made it, be it dino or synth. All of a sudden it showed up on shelves again but in the special motor bike section with a price twice that of car M1 15-50, or other weights.
