I have been using 15w/50 Mobil 1, but it seems that it is no longer being sold locally; Walmart and Advance Auto don't carry it. I can get it on line, but it's $10 a quart compared to $22 for 5 quarts when walmart had it. My 968 is predominantly tracked and I live in the Northeast, but don't track beyond November and don't start until March and it's not driven much on the street.
What is(are) appropriate alternative oil weight(S)?

That's a pretty common oil, I'd be surprised if they are not carrying it anymore. Try talking to someone at Walmart. Otherwise there are other synthetics, I use Amsoil 10w40 Premium as it has the extra ZDDP.

Funny thing is that when I asked walmart, they said they never carried it. Obviously wrong because that's where I got it last time. Today, they had no 40 or 50 and nothing higher than 10w.
