Its not just the cost of the oil, you have to account for the cost of gas you will save with the 0W20 oil as well, not to mention the peace of mind when it comes to the factory warranty. The Toyota 0W20 oil is made by Mobil and its basically a Mobil sythetic oil formulated with a high moly content, its a pretty good oil, better than Mobil one in my opinion.
I bought 8 single quart bottles of Mobil 1 0W20 from my local Walmart today for $6.52 each. Both of my local Lexus dealers wanted $8.xx for the Lexus brand. The oil is so hard to find, it's crazy.
I called Walmart today before arriving at the store to check if they had it in stock. The guy on the phone said they had three 5-Quart jugs and those eight 1-Quart bottles I bought later. When I came to the store a few hours later, the guy informed me that somebody else came literally less than an hour before me and bought all of the 5-Quart jugs! The thing about 5-Quart jugs is that each quart is only $5.

FYI - just got back from Walmart...they now sell 5qt jugs of the Mobil1 0w-20 for $24.50. That's their everyday price, so don't have to wait for a sale. I was just there 2 months ago looking and there was no shelf space for this oil, so they just started recently stocking it.
The closest O'Reilly around me is in Virginia, and they don't sell oil online.

As others have mentioned, Wal_Mart carries the Mobil 1 0W-20 at $ 6.52/qt. or $ 24.50 per jug. I was there this morning and they had no jugs left, only the quart containers.
I am under the impression that they do stock much of the 0W-20 at any one time, or it sells out very quickly.
At our local Costco, they do not carry either the 0W-20 or 5W-20 oil.

As a side note, for those that perform their own oil changes on some of their vehicles, Amazon has a good buy on the PureOne oil filters @ $ 5.00 each, and then Purolator has an on-going rebate to get $ 3.00 return for the same filters; so, a $ 2.00 net price per filter. These go fast on Amazon as they are rated pretty high in most reviews. I picked up a few for my Acura TL.

Amazon.com carries Mobil 1 0W-20 pack of 6 with free shipping. Not sure about their supply...
