SOME autozones have it, that's it.

lucky for you, i'm like the first person in history to find a WEBSITE to sell it! check out my thread on it.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...=539268&page=1

i'm gonna ask if you decide to buy the oil, order it from them and write them an email using the "contact us" link on their site begging them to become a sponsor. i'm trying to push these guys into becoming an LS1Tech sponsor and dropping their price a little to compete with autozone. they already offer free shipping on orders over $50 and there's no tax unless you live in idaho, but they charge $8.08 a quart. if they bump their price down to, oh, say $6.50-ish they'd be a much smarter buy over autozone meaning we could give them great business. please, all you GC 0W-30 buffs out there, write this website an email to convince them into being an LS1tech sponsor!

run GC 0W-30 all year 'round. it offers the best protection out there in all weather conditions.

you have to wrap HTML tags around it. just put these tags around it like this:

(QUOTE]

whatever you want to say here

[/QUOTE)

only use brackets for both, not parenthesis. [ ] not ( ). i only put ( ) in there so the website wouldn't automatically quote me

i wouldn't. GC 0W-30 and mobil 1 0W-40/5W-40 is better. why waste the cash on royal purple? they're all marketing hype. i mean, it's decent oil i'm sure, i doubt it'll hurt you, just there is better oil for the same price.

it's carried at SOME local autozones, or you can purchase it at the store linked in here:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-maintenance-repairs/539268-found-online-store-sells-gc-0w-30-a.html

make sure it says "made in germany" on the back. if it says "made in the usa" it's the wrong stuff.

I just got back from autozone and they had it yes! lol At first I didnt think they had it then I asked the counter guy and it was in a diff section from the other castrol and in a black container not gray. I also got the K&N oil filter HP2006. My question is how many miles or months can I go on this stuff I rarly drive the car ide be lucky to drive it 100 miles a month.



Quick Reply: mobil 1 or GC synthetic, higher oil pressure
