German Castrol
Any autozone should now stock it. You can ask them to order it if they dont have it stocked. They are allocated 6 quarts of it only though but they might be able to order more if you request it.
Just make sure when you look on the back of it says Made In Germany and not Made in USA. It usually has some type of red "European Formula" on it too.

Been in Pennzoil operations for years, compared to other traditional conventional oils pennzoil stands up to all the tests the best right from the shelf from Wal-Mart.

I used German Castrol, but it's very hard to find. I've now changed to Mobil 1 0W40 and find it to be excellent. Autozone always has a sale on it- 5qts 0W40/ Mobil 1 filter for ~$30. Can't beat that.

Oh bye the way I have heard that the penz platnium was good but you cant convince me that there conventional is worth a damn. So my outlook is if they cant perfect there conventional why would I run any of there products.

Yeah, I can't find the thread right now but Patmon tested it out after running it in his C5 LS1 until the oil change indicator came on and it really good oil, I think right behind GC and A LOT cheaper and easier to find.

**** penzoil
never ran the german castrol, might give that a try next time.
right now im using carquest synthetic, 5-30
its made by valvoline, no consumption issues, oil pressure stays great, and its like $2 a quart. i never would have thought of it but my friend runs a 67 camaro in super stock and runs that and royal purple on the points meets, he says that the carquest does just as well, the royal purple is just for contengency money.
