i went to several autozones tonight and found only 6 qts of gc. i did find a made in america bottle the had yellow 0w-30 on it, would that happen to be the new stuff, i read the back and it had a bunch of expensive car names on it. i dunno, i need 6.5 qts since i have a gto and oil pan is different, too bad i couldnt buy it in case form, at the stores, with out ordering. off topic, does anybody know the k&n oil filter number for our cars?

Wow, I didn't know how good the Castrol 0w-30 was supposed to be! I think I'll switch from Mobil 1 10w-30 if I can find it. This also got me searching on how the Mobil 1 filters I use stack up to the K&N. Think I'll be switching there too.
Thanks for the info guys!

Where do you get the containers to send analysis samples?

I think we should just have a sticky made that would show reccomened oils for our cars from 1-5 or whatever. I ask this because it is not always easy to find the GC 0w30 here in the u.s. And i have seen PATMAN's other best alternative suggestions which i believe were amsoil 5W30 and M1 0w40.
