Several of us do. Thats what is referred to when you see threads about GC 0W-30 (German Castrol syntec 0W-30). Most of the GC 0W-30 available today is the new mix; gold in color. Some claim the gold is as good as the green. Most are awaiting more UOA's to confirm its' effectiveness. Anyway, it's good stuff. Look for the Made in Germany lable on the back of the bottle.

Now, hang on tight 'cuz the Amsoil, Mobil1, yada...yada...yada replies will surely follow. I'll even be the first, Amsoil is also a great oil. Good-luck
