I was surprised to find the GC 0w-30 at my local AutoZone and then went out and bought 52 Quarts between five stores.

I stumbled on some 5w-40 Syntec made in Belgium. Then I thought that maybe I should use the 5w-40?

I will be running the 0w-30 in my Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, do you think It will hold up in this oil beater? My manual calls for Full-Synthetic 10w-30.

Castrol Europe website states that the 0w-30 is good up to 40/Deg C. Temperatures.

I daresay GC would be better in your Evo, based on it's stability in UOAs around this forum, and the fact that it's a full synth.

The GC is your better bet for MPG and for wear IMO. The 5w-40 looks OK and all, but stick with the green, you'll be glad you did!

I think the GC would work great in that little monster of a motor.

I'm most likely going with GC in a Honda 2.4. I also noticed BC 5w-40 at AZ for the first time.

I looked for GC about 10 months ago with no avail. I think the West Coast is finally stocking the GC.

four of the quarts were dated Batch M02 the rest were M04. Is the 02 Batch to old to use?

Zmeli, the old batch M02 usually has high Fe..but there should be no probs to use. I also happen to have 4qts of this old batch.

So how much is GC going for up there..is the $1 clearance still on in Victorville?

Good choice with the German Castrol...I'll be running it in my Subaru WRX STi as soon as I make the switch over to synthetic.

I paid $5.19 a QT in Victorville.

I spent about $300.00 on the German Castrol. I consider it a investment. My car cost me 30G.

HOLY CRAP 52 quarts! my girlfriend lives up there in victorville and I bought 7 quarts for my BMW. (it has a 6.9 Q sump) There was also a whole row of at least 20 bottles of GC. I went up there 2 months later for my next oil change and they were completely gone except 2 bottles of the american crap. So you're the one....

I was told that AZ will get a shipment today. I will check after work and see if
they re-stock with the GC. I am still wondering if the 05 batch will ever show up?
