I know there are a lot of oil threads...but I need a for sure ANSWER! I have tried the search...
I am using 10w-30 Mobil 1 in my 02 ws6 6spd. with 60k miles. And I now hear that its not that good anymore..and to use GC.
Well I hear to use 0w-30 of that stuff....ok good deal....but I head that some people tried it and it just made valvetrain louder...
If I were to switch to GC would it cause that?
And here is my main question..IF I DONT HAVE GC around here what oil should I use in its place? Mobil 1 or another? I want them in order of best to last according to weights, and according to my weather around here (Hot over here=108 Cold over here=30 degrees)
P.s GC=German Castrol.
Thanks in advance!

I don't see what the big deal is here? 
Try the GC, if you don't like it, no problem, switch to another oil. Seems simple to me. I mean, you said it yourself:
Some people have issues, some don't. What makes you think the answers in this thread will be any different?

Lol, I need a "for sure answer" on a topic "I know there are alot of threads[about]"...
Try some different oils, see how you think it works/sounds. Then do an oil analysis, that's the only way to know "for sure".
