So that's off my list now too.
What I ended up going with was Pennzoil Platinum 5w-20. The BobIsTheOilGuy.com forums really like Pennzoil products, and short of expensive high-end oil (Redline, Amsoil, Motul, etc) they have some of the best product. Now, we're seeing really high temps this summer, so the higher start weight doesn't concern me. But I would like a recommended 0w-20 for the winter. Pennzoil makes a Platinum 0w-20 (but not Ultra) however I only found one nearby source for it.
Wal-Mart.  I dislike giving them my business, but I may not have an option once the temperature begins to drop. |
I'm in the same boat. Advance has Mobil and castrol while autozone only has Mobil. I didn't think of checking Walmart.
