Im lovin German Castrol 0w30. I switched from Mobil 1 5w30 cuz oil consumption was horrible. Yes, on an HR!!!! 500 miles after an oil change my dipstick would read a that it burnt 1/4 of a quart with mobil 1. So that means in 2000 miles my dipstick would read at the low mark. That seemed very abnormal to me. Switched over to German Castrol and in 2k miles it burnt close nothing.

Damn, you have oil consumption issues? And where did you find German Castrol? I have gone to all my local shops (East Bay Nor-Cal) and NONE had it in stock.

Check AutoZone and PepBoys. I've found it at both places recently.

Yeah and at least we have 'em unlike those newer Bimmer guys... I remember changing the oil on my g/f's '05 G Coupe and that dipstick was a pain in the ***. Glad she got rid of that car! haha
No, after taking out the mobil 1 5w30 my car consumes almost no oil. i can go a whole 5k before changing my oil and i wont have to top off with german castrol. i think the mobil 1 just vaporates or something! BTW GC could be found at autozone and pep boys.

Thats interesting... I ran Mobil 1 0W 30 for the winter and Mobil 1 0W 40 for the other months. I was scared to run the 0w 30 and thought that would evaporate but I was good.
I went to the only Pep Boys in my area and they didn't have any and the 2 Autozones in my area didn't have any either. It must fly off the self around my area or I must be blind.

Using Pennzoil 5W-30 with the K&N filter at the moment, no complaints, gonna switch to 10W-30 synthetic, (still deciding on what brand) due to the temperatures going up, and I'm at 5000 miles.
