Default Bobtheoilguy forum yields hours of great reading.........

Oh no, did I just write that. Lots of posts about people and their oil questions. You can dig about oil types. German Castrol users have a huge following there.

Some big oil techies that explain alot about oils. I think there are some AWers on there too.

Default I've spent my fair share of time there, and

it's what convinced me to try Mobil 1 0w-30 Racing.

Default My face is well known at the closest Autozone.....

I've purchased their whole inventory of Red Label German Castrol, and have 10 quarts in my own inventory.

The manager keeps some GC on hand for me (they have a load of the Group III Yellow label domestic). I gave the staff an educational dissertation on the difference of yellow vs. red label. I said certain wacko Audi drivers will come in and buy this oil.
