Default Where to find 5W50 synthetic oil?

Anybody know? none of the autoparts stores around me have it?? Is there a different name for it or somthing? (HD50 or somthing like that?) Yes, the oil is for my whipple compressor.

Thanks,
Nate

My previous truck had a Whipple. I used Castrol Syntec 5W 50 which I bought at Walmart. That was a few years ago.

I think there was also 5W 50 Quaker State and Pennzoil.

Wal-mart , O'Reilly , Advance , Autozone, K-mart. Wal-mart usually has the 5 gallon jugs for a lot less than you can buy them seperate, you just need to buy an extra quart because the new motors take 6 qts.
