i found only 0W-30 GC, went ahead and got it..
I have a story for you guys..
I walked in there got my oil and stuff went to the register and this guy was there I asked him "Is that your Mach out there?" He said "yup!". I went to say "Hey thats a really nice car, blah blah". Just for ***** and giggles i asked if he wanted to trade(wasnt serious) he said "What do you got?", i told him i had a "Cammed 99 WS6", he comes back at me saying "Ya right its a Mach 1! they have 400hp"
I then asked "You wanna run me" he said that GM technology was no where near as close as Fords 4V motor. I said 4V's have been around for a while. "Obviously you have never heard of a LS1 before..later man"
He then says "I gotta a buddy that will race you, its a 96 Mustang with a 454 big block! with 780hp" ....I said "I didnt think they could fit a big block motor in those sn95s" Then he goes "sn95? I meant 93!". I told him i love foxbody's, then he said "No, its a 93!".
I just went ahead let out a big sigh and said maybe some other time, goodnight.
I try not to belittle ppl, but that was comical and thought yall would enjoy that lil story.

all the BMW oils are german castrol blends. So you can definately find it at a bimmer dealer, however its like 7-9 bucks a quart. Unless your bro works in the service dept. Though I still use mobil 1.

yeah, the 0w-30 is what you are looking for. i've never seen it at o'reilly's near me, just autozone. just make sure you check that its the german formula, not the US formula

I've been able to find it at Autozone, but I usually go to O'Reily's and they don't have it. Prob. going to have them(O'Reily's) order it for me again along w/some Royal purple gear lube when I go back in there.
