If you use mobil 1, use the 0w40, not the 5w30 crap. Penzoil Platinum is very nice. I personally use Royal Purple XPR 10w40.

Is this DEFINITELY TRUE? GC 0w-30 is discontinued. I'm going to have to increase my stock pile to at least 10-12 cases.

Well, none of the autozones around me carry it anymore.. so I'd bet it's either discontinued or no longer available here.
