Default Engine Oil Revisited.... German Castrol..

Anyone use the stuff?

At Bobistheoilguy.com lots of makes/models swear by the stuff. They are oil freaks over there, and have their oil sent off to a laboratory to be tested after oil changes, and they say they get less engine wear (less bearing and various metal shavings in the oil) when they use this stuff.

It is ony 0-30... but they say it oils superior to 10.30 and 10.40 synthetics.

Only US distributor is Autozone. Here is what the stuff looks like,,, http://home.comcast.net/~dsmphotos/gc/gc.html

Bottles say made in Germany on it, and the oil is green.

10.30 is what is recomended by Toyota for our cars..... but 0.30 is actually thicker than 10.30w mobil 1 @ 100 degrees.... so no chance of blow by.... and its better on the engine at startup.

I just spent $100 at the local autozone to buy out their stock.... stuff is hard to come by
