GC 0W-30 FTW! i wouldn't put mobil 1 5W-30 in my car if it was free, not after all the things patman has shown and said about it 
may as well put water in your crankcase.

183k miles, have been running RP for probably close to 100k of those...
Mobil 1 prior to that...I also use a Canton Racing aluminum spin-on filter housing that uses replaceable elements. I also run RP gear oil and did a full transmission fluid dialysis to RP. In regards to price...YearOne has the RP for $5.30/qt & $62.00/case(that's $5.17/qt)...that beats anyone's price on Mobil 1 that I know of...just avoid the O'Reilly $7.20/qt and PepBoys $6.99/qt...

After hearing you guys talk about german castrol I did some research on it. I found that for it to be gc the bottle has to say made in Germany. Is this true? The site said it is hard to find, you just have to look through all the bottles at the zone and see where there made?
