Default Able to get GC 10w-30 online?

I haven't been able to find it in forever in any auto parts store I've been in. I've even checked Walmart and stores of the likes and no success. Just wondering if anyone knows of a place to order it online.

Oops, I meant GC 0w-30, not 10w-30.

Autozone is the only one to carry it in the St. Louis area and every one I've been in has had it. As far as ordering it online, I haven't a clue.

Yeah, I get it from autozone too. It's kind of hit and miss as far as when they have it in stock tho.

Psh, woodbridge is for losers. I happened to stumble across some GC when I was up in Glen Burnie last time for my tune so I picked some up

Probably not better than your Amsoil. I DO believe it's better than Mobile 1 in our engines, but to each his own.

It holds up longer than Mobil 1 according to many tests.

www.bobistheoilguy.com has some pretty good info and Patman on here eats and breathes this stuff.

I don't think it beats Amsoil but it certainly kicks Mobil 1's ***. Even though it's a 0w-30, it's a heavier weight oil than Mobil 1 5w-30. Mobil 1 is very thin.
