I have seen Citgo before- looks decent. Give it a try.

Anyone have any more info or experience with this oil? There was talk of this being Citgo SynDurance. SynDurance is CJ-4/SM, but this stuff is CI-4 Plus/SL I believe, so I'm guessing it's not the same. I don't see any Citgo or Mystik oils that match it.
I have been thinking of switching to it year-round for my 1996 BMW 318ti. Good or bad idea? Would this be too thick for Minneapolis winters? I will start at -20F or colder once or twice per year. -10F to -15F probably a dozen times or so.
I have 187,000 miles and will drive it until at least 250,000, but I'm not willing to pay $6+/quart for the BMW LL-01/ACEA A3 oils I've been using for years. Mobil1 0w-40, Syntec/GC 0w30, Total Quartz Energy 9000 0w-30, etc...
This oil is still $2.59/quart at Mills Fleet Farm. $20.69 per 2 gallon jug.
Thanks!
