I also wouldn't worry too much about finishing with what you have on hand and, at most, plan on changing the oil a little earlier next time.
Thanks. That was my thinking. Everett is nowhere near me. I just drove down to the local Walmart and they were out of virtually all motor oils. Creepy, frankly. Reminiscent of the toilet paper shortage. And by the way, that Walmart showed plenty of stock of the oil.

At this point I'm going to order the oil from Walmart with free shipping.
