have you gone to the Shell Lubricant web page..

http://www.shell.com/home/content/us-en/welcome.html

click on Shell for Businesses on the left hand menu
click on Shell Lubricants
click on "Distributor Locator"
click on your state (Michigan?)
get a list of half a dozen distributors
Call them one by one asking if they carry Diala AX


By the way.. it's called a Power Generation and Transmission 
lubricant along with all sorts of greases, gear oils, etc.
