Since German Castrol is gone.... (IT'S NOT!!)
There is nothing wrong with any of the oil you will find on the shelf to justify pissing it away. I wouldn't even do that with WalMart brand synthetic.
Even the oil I dislike the most, Mobile 1, isn't necessarily "bad". Just overpriced for an oil that shears off too much for my liking.

If the GC 30 was closer to a 40...than wouldn't the GC 40 be thicker as well. With that being said...maybe the mobil 0w40 would be better. The vette guys love it. I think it's factory fill for z06's sold in Europe.
I'd still like to know how the belgian version stacks up against the german.
Anyone? Anyone?
It's kind of like castrol said: "Haha...let's **** with all the OCD guys that love our euro oils and switch the 0w30 and 0w40 refineries on them!" Sick bastards...

Yeah I know it sounds confusing but I swear that I read on here that Castrol 0w40 is a thin 40. Which is wierd because the0w30 was a thick 30. So wouldn't that make them very close? Yeah ii don't know.I saw the 0w40 at pep boys made in Germany . I just didn't pull the trigger cause all the manufacturers recommendations talk about a 4o being to thick for clearances in the ls1. But next time Im definitely picking it up.

Why not put all the German this, Belgium that, to rest and just run the Castrol Edge (gold bottle) that's readily available at ANY store you go to?

All this non-sense is like dating the hot bipolar girl. Sure she is fine AF, but is it really worth the headache? Doubtful. Just go with PP and be done!
