Default Anyone know somewhere to get German Castrol in Houston?

Like the title says, anyone know of a spot to get some GC in Houston. No shipping, I want to pick it up in person. I got an oil change coming up and I want to try it out. By the quart, by the case, whatever, just let me know.

Thanks,
Doyle

Last I checked, AZ at Bingle and W Little York had a good amount, but its been a few weeks since I have been in there. I would imagine once they sell out they are done with it, all the AZs close to me have phased it out over the last year.

No way, dude. I used German Castrol and it got rid of my piston slap, fixed my transmission leak, gave me 30 hp at the wheels, helped me grow a mustache, and then Jennifer Aniston came over to my house and had sex with me.

For the record, yes, I've used it. It's good stuff, but not worth obsessing over.

German Castrol? Is it like a ZJ, in a sense that if you have to ask what it is, you can't afford it?

last i checked, AZ was the only place to put it on the shelves, and they have phased it out. every now and then you'll find an AZ that still has some lingering. lucky for me i think i have a stockpile to last me a couple years

you can try calling the AZs in your area, but they usually cant figure out what you are talking abot when you ask for the european formula 0w-30... they'll usually say yes, and you get there and its the american formula 0w-30.

it was either o'reillys or napa that said they'd special order it for me, but you cant get sales prices on special orders. so if you are ok with paying full price, you might want to try that.
