from everything I've heard and seen most full out racers don't use it. I think the main reason is that it was developed to be a Marine oil for the large diesel powerboats and things of that nature. they just decided hey lets make automotive oil...like I said its just my opinion...I've never ran it in anything of mine and prob never will. theres a lot of ppl that don't respect it in the racing/enthusiest world.

I don't see on there site where it allows Castrol Syntec for that promotion?
Could you show me where it does? Because if it is still going on, I am gonna run up and get atleast one 'special' pricing.
+1 I agree.

Thanks for rubbing salt in my wounds! I wanted to stock up for the next 2 oil changes. I called my local stores, and they said nope, not extended. (HUGE SIGH)

I'd rather have a lighter oil on start up to get to the valvetrain quick, and a 30W at operating temp than a syrup on both ends in an engine designed for 5w30. Higher viscosity does not always equal better lubrication. Just my .02.
