Exclamation just got back from autozone...

... and qot two cases of the german manufactured castrol syntec 0w30. just wanted to let everyone know (if you don't already) that they now come stamped "European Formula" on the front label. makes it alot easier than taking each one down and inspecting the back side. just a heads up.

I use Amsoil 10w-40 in my Z28 and Mobile 1 10w-30 in the family cars. Where I live it never gets cold, but once in a blue moon, and the summer temps stay in the 90s. 0w-30 is a little too thin for me?

Thanks for the heads up. Is it the green stuff with all the european standards it meets listed on the back of the bottle?

The GC 0-30 is pretty thick for a 0-30. I ran it last year until I couldn't find it. I liked it.
