Engine oil weight wright-up!..???
Autozones around me have it in stock all the time, pep boys has it as well. Ask at the counter and they should be able to get you a case. WS6 store can as well
GC all the way. Auto Zone and Pep Boys stock it and often have it on sale with a cheep throw away filter.
The first number is the cold flow viscosity, you'll want it to be lower to flow better at start up. If you have piston slap on cold start up with a 0 weight oil, you'll have more piston slap with a 10 weight oil.
GC has the best long term resistance to breakdown and high temperature resistance. Like hitmanws6 said, it tests closer to a 40 weight.
It makes no sense that one of the better oils on the market was the sole cause of a blown engine.
HMMM, when will this thread turn into a "don’t use Fram filters" thread?

Hmm,.. They must have started to carry it again awhile back then. I just remember asking the hot chick working the counter to look it up a few times and her saying that it wasn't available for ordering anymore. Almost as if once whatever on the shelves were gone, it's gone! ... That was awhile ago though.
