German Castrol

I've been reading up on this "German Castrol" for about a week now. My question is has anyone used it? If so where can I find it? I work part-time at O'Reilly's between classes and we don't carry it. Lastly, does it actually live up to the hype or is it all BS? Thanks in advance.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that's had premature engine failure due to any synthetic OR conventional oil that's changed at the proper respective intervals.

^^^EXACTLY!

It all comes down to what makes you feel all secure and 'warm and fuzzy' about your oil/filter changes/intervals.

For me, that is either a 0W-30/0W-40 Red Line mix, Motul Trophy 300V 0W-40, or the new Millers Nanodrive Racing 0W-30, along with a NAPA/Wix Platinum, or Amsoil EaO 64 filter.

That's right! And according to the TV, they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true - so everything in this thread MUST be true:

(BTW, that '51 commercial was fantastic. I love that old stuff.

Yea. Make a video of a guy flushing oily water down the sink drain these days and little black helicopters will show up to take the man away in cuffs...
