Question 5,000 mi,7500 mi, & 15,000 mi mobil 1 Oil??

Been looking for the new Mobil 1 7500mi synthetic blend oil. I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Mobil 1 has been advertising it on T.V. for about a month or so now. You would think it would be in stores at major cities like Houston and such.
Anyone have purchased these Mobil one oils? There new line up is the Mobil 1 5,000 mi, 7,500 mi, and 15,000 mi oil grades.
5,000 mi- standard oil grade
7,500 mi- synthetic blend
15,000 mi- full synthetic

Any help would be great.
Also the cheapest place to buy it would be even better.

Thanks,
Jim

I'm interested to know if it's actually safe to go that long between oil changes. I was already wondering if it's better to stick to the recommended 3000 miles or to go by the change oil light in my truck, but going 15000 miles seems like a stretch. Any opinions?

Check out http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi

They are some weird dudes. They live, eat, breathe motor oil and filters. Plenty of good info though.

I ran up to 5000mi on the regular M-1 5-30 with no probs, that was with a M-1 oil filter as well. I just bought the 15k M-1, so we will see.

I saw those oils at walmart and also another new oil from MOBIL 1. It is a 5w-40 for trucks and suv and is FULLY SYNTHETIC. The best of both worlds with cold start up protection and heat resistance.
