It seems in the subaru/bmw world german castrol is rated super high.
A couple of random $25-$30 uoa's are not really a good indicator of how well oils stack up against each other. IMO, GC is probably overkill for most BRZ/FR-S applications. It has an HTHS similar to some 40 weights (which is one way it meets Euro specs) and has a kinematic viscosity close to a 40 weight.
