German Castrol 0w-30 on sale at Autozone.
Autozone is running a special on 5 quarts of German Castrol 0w-30 bundled with a K&N oil filter for, IIRC, $27.99 plus tax. This is some of the best oil on the market and isn't very easy to find on sale, snatch it up while you still can.

How many petro-based 0W30 oils are there?
Very good product, it's a shame they're pairing it with a K&N product...perhaps they'd do a swap.
The 0W30 is an excellent product and towards the thick end of the xW30 visco range. It meets many Euro mfr specs. I haven't seen it around for a while. |

Hell, even if you throw the filter away, that's a pretty good price.

Re: German Castrol 0w-30 on sale at Autozone.
Are K&N oil filters that bad? I usually use Pure 1 (Toyota), Motorcraft (Ford) or Mann (Audi). Any ideas if K&N is comparable to these?

K & N is one of best flowing oil filters on the market. They are built like a tank and are very highly regarded.

Castrol 0w30 is probably the best synthetics available in retail stores. Castrol 0w30(aka GC for german castrol) is a real synthetic(base IV) unlike most other "synthetics" on the market like the other syntecs and mobil 1 oils that are a base III.
Even though it is rated a 30 weight at operating temperature, it is closer to a 40 weight.
good stuff, i run it. |

Re: German Castrol 0w-30 on sale at Autozone.
I'm gonna first apologizefor the stupid question ...
I have been hearing for years about the german castrol being better than Mobil 1. Is 0w-30 the only german castrol sold in the states??
I have a northstar engine that is extremely sensitive to oil and the only oil that keeps the top end quiet is the 10w-30. I used Mobil 1 0w-30 once and I had to chance it after a 250 miles because the top end was really loud.
