I've been running rp 5w30, got like 30 quarts at autozone for $1 a quart one day in some freak sale. I am running out though, where do you get this 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.

 

Where do you get this German Castrol? This is the first I hear about it.

 

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.

 

I bought mine at a local parts store called ABC autoparts im lucky the manager has an 01 blown ta that is really nasty and he also runs GC so it stays stocked.

 

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.

 

Someone start a poll.

 

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.

HERE YOU GO!

 

All I run now is GC 0-30. My motor is quieter and uses less oil between changed intervals to!

 

My friend works for BP the production company for castrol and he said they sink alot of time and money into the consumer brand oils the have a commercial grade that he said was the absolute sh*t.

 

Thanks, I knew it was around here somewhere!

 

What's the commercial grade called, did he say?

 

I will try to find out.

 

made the switch a month after i bought this car and i havent looked back. this shyte kicks ace.

 

i had the chance to get a artic white ss and passed it up now im kicking my self had two white IROC's and wanted a white 4th gen. oh well ....

 

haha. this is my 4th f-body and my first white one. my others have been red and black. ive grown to love the artic white though.

 

I have thought of getting a white vette or a white 5th gen when they hit but im big on old school.

 

**** 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.
