The least of our worries over here. The thinnest we are likely to require over here is a 5w-30 grade, 0w-20 may take some time before it / or if it ever becomes readily available as a recommended grade.

This is the GT1 0w-20 replacement.
We do have few 0w-20 and 5w-20 grades for sale here in Australia.
1)Penrite 0w-20
2)Nulon 5w-20
3)Toyota Genuine 0w-20
4)Fuchs GT1 0w-20

Castrol has 2 different 0w20s and 2 different 5w20s.
That's very interesting!
The Fuchs TITAN GT1 EVO 0W-20 meets the BMW LL-14 FE+ spec' for use in the N20 engine.
I wonder if this oil uses the same Zinc free additive technology?
BTW, the Titan GT1 XTL 0W-20 is still available in Canada although it may be old stock. The problem is, it's over $20/L which is the top of the price range for exotic oils in NA.
I still have a 4L jug in oil stash.

Who wants to be the first to try 0W-20 in one of these?

It is a trade product available in 20L minimum. Retailers wont want to stock it for that reason but anyone can buy it. SCA/Repco etc could special order it in for you if you ask.

That's still a little less than the Millers Nano Drive Racing in the liter bottle price!
I once tried and could NOT find this elusive Fuchs product ANYWHERE in the continental U.S.
My guess is that NO ONE brings it in as a distributor, and maybe just some small, unlisted sellers bring it in by the pallet load or so.
