    New USA 0W30 Castrol ( AC ???)

    For what it's worth, just bought four bottles of GC at AZ. First bottle off the rack was M05336 and the next three bottles were M06087. Guess I'll be checkin this thread till we get to the bottom of this.

    GC addendum, Maryland

    I frequent the AZ in Frederick. They always have GC on the shelf. Yesterday I got the last bottle with an M05 identifier and three bottles of M06.

    Current Price paid for GC?

    I've tried the price match thing two times now and they say they won't match a "sale" price.

    No more Tire Rack purchases for me

    Forgot to mention, Costco's price on Hydroedge out the door beat Tire Rack's.

    There's no inherent reason to get an alignment when you buy new tires. If your old tires wore evenly don't waste the money.

    GC gold in a turbo motor

    Currently running GC gold in an 05 Legacy GT. Runs smoother than OEM oil with less engine noise at very low rpms (under 1500) when I'm too lazy to downshift. Currently about 6k on this fill - no consumption, mostly daily mixed commuting, winter temps 15-50F, summer up to 100F.

    Redline 20W50 too thick?

    Ed_T, Thanks, I'm always interested in other Subaru enthusiasts experiences/thoughts. My first OC after factory fill was M1 TSUV 5w-40 followed by GC which seemed to improve the sound at startup and overall smoothness. If I can't get GC on sale for around $4/qt maybe I'll try Rotella next OC...

    Redline 20W50 too thick?

    Sent Red Line a query and got a response. Not sure it clears anything up. Message : I purchased 4qts of Red Line 20W50 engine oil. I have a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT 2.5 turbo. I assume my normal oil operating temp is below the threshold for this oil. So, can I mix 1 or 2 qts 20W50 with a lighter...

    Redline 20W50 too thick?

    Wow, that doesn't sound very good for my application. I didn't even bother to read the back of the bottle yet. Maybe I should use this in my lawnmowers.

    Redline 20W50 too thick?

    Appreciate the positive Legacy words. Not suprisingly I agree, if the Legacy suits your needs its a great car for the money and Subaru's definitely have some character that you won't get with most manufacturers high volume models.

    Redline 20W50 too thick?

    I picked up 4qts of Redline 20W50 on the 75% off rack at AA for $2/qt. I have a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT that I've been using GC in. Can I lighten up 4qts of 20W50 enough with 1qt of 0W20 or should I use 2qts Redline with 3qts of maybe a 5W20? Don't know how thick the Redline 20W50 is.

    What is the Coldest you've used GC?

    This thread has been very enlightening. Still have some questions about GC use in the winter. How thick is too thick for winter start ups? Ugly3 stated that GC was much thicker than Citgo 5w30 at 10F. In addition the viscosity chart shows GC to be thicker than M1 5W30, 0W20, 0W30 at cold temps...

    GC or M1 T&SUV for winter use

    Thanks for the advice. That will work out well since I can't seem to find T&SUV in Walmart since Katrina anyway.
