Default HELP...no more good oil??

I can't find the German Castrol 0w-30 Europeon blend ANYWHERE! Autozone stopped carrying it, pep boys, and even all the oil distributing companies that I called in my area. This is the only oil thus far that didn't burn, or cause problems for me, and now it's no more!

Anyone know of a place I can get this? or is there another oil similar to this that I could use for the t/a? Please don't say mobil 1, because that stuff is just "pure" crap, burned like no other.

Have you tried AMSOIL? Some people swear by it. It's expensive, but so is any synthetic.

Did they tell you they stopped carrying it everywhere or just your Autozone? The Autozones by me are stocked with that oil. Let me know ASAP so I can stock up for at least the next two oil changes. You should fill out your location field. That will help with threads like this.

mr2guru, just a wild guess, but does the quote in your sig relate to Sgt. Spuds?

My autozone said that he can order it, so I had him get 5 cases or so. So I will see what happens. See if they can order it for you or get it from another of their stores.
