AutoZone and Walmart both carry it. It is inexpensive....something like $16 per GALLON! or maybe even less. I can't remember. It comes in the blue container.

after reading a couple of thread some ppl recommend the 0w-40 euro car formula..
So Which Oil should i pick up??
My temp is sometimes @ night 24 C (74 F) and in the day 30-35 C (86 + F)
I drive sometimes my car pretty hard..and i saw on a thread that the 10w 30 can get to thin when you drive hard..
So What should i stick to??
thanks

Do you happen to know if the Rotella synthetic 40 weight has a viscosity closer to a typical 30w?

My Owner's Manual specifies 5W30. My personal pick is Mobil 1 (a good combination of quality & price); when it's on sale, I stock up--'bout twice a year. I gather, any brand that's got the "SAE/API" on it, has got to be good!

I originally recommended the Rotella T-Syn for QuadCam and some other guys running forced induction. The oil is well designed for this use, and has a good history of excellent UOA's from a variety of turbo engines, both gasoline and diesel. I am now running it in my car just to see how it does in a NA engine, and will post my own results whenever I get around to changing the oil. Probably in the next week.

WTF?!! Who is selling you this oil? Last time I looked it was around 6 dollars at Wal-Mart. Even NAPA is cheaper than that.
