Default Can not find recommended oils ?

I cannot find German Castrol 0w30 , Amsoil 5w40 , Mobil 1 0w40 , and not sure if the Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 is okay to use ! Is their a place in Houston area to find these and maybe Redline 5w40 ? What would you use if you could not find these ? Car is stock , but want best protection I can find !
I have been using Mobil 1 5w30 since the beginning , now at 80,000 miles !

Odd that you cannot find Red Line locally but you can buy it online from SummitRacing.com. You can get AMSOIL from their website but it's better to find a distributor.
Castrol is hard to find and is usually at large Autozones.

If one of the sponsors up here doesn't have AMSOIL let me know and I can get you a case or however much you want. I have it in everything even the Lawn mower and love it.
