Hey guys, Ive been using german castrol 0w-30 for about 2-3 years now and reading the forums and such seems like it may not be the choice to use anymore now that the formulation is changed / and there are better alternatives? Im thinking on my next oil change of switching to use either 5w-30...

Hey guys, just wanted to chime in here and say I have been using GC for the past 2000 clicks and 0 has been burned by my engine, whereas in the other oils I used before, my engine would burn some oil in this time... I am now going to be using this forever!

sorry i thought i mentioned it... its a 06 chrysler 300 (rear wheel drive).. also, its not entirely a 'clunk', it could also be described as a 'thump', 'kick'.

Hello all, maybe someone can chime in with any suggestions? The clunk sound is heard when changing from park to reverse. I can also hear the same clunk sound when taking my foot off the gas after accelerating. For example, I speed to 60km/hr, then take my foot off the gas and coast. After...

Hi there, is it normal when doing a longer OCI than normal to have the car consume some oil? So far after 5000 miles (8000 kms), I have had to top up approx. a little less than a quart. My original plan is to go for 6000 miles (10,000kms). Oil is a HDEO Esso XD-3 synthetic 0w-30. Is it because...

random question regarding this oil, I have the choice to use this 0w-30 or 0w-30 german castrol (price is almost identical which I can get them for). which would you guys choose and why? I have heard amazing things about esso xd-3 0w-30, and also about 0w-30 german castrol.

And WOW... the car runs so much more smoother than before especially at idle, and taking off. Car is a 2006 Chrysler 300. I am now a believer lol... Too bad it didnt fix my somewhat harsh engine shutoff shudder that my mechanic said might be from the fuel or fuel injectors. Maybe on next fillup...

I have 24L of German Castrol 0W-30 26,281

Hmm just want to get you guys opinion on this. So I got the coolant flush today done, they said they did it through the machine and they got the radiator, block, heater core, etc... Anyways they told me that my coolant was contaminated. They showed me the color, the G05 is supposed to be a kind...

I dont plan to take out any fluid, I mean its only gonna be about 8-9 oz.

Thanks guys, hopefully this week I can go pick up some G05 coolant from napa or partsource and take it to my garage. What is a fair price for the labour involved? Ive been getting quoted around $80 but that includes the coolant, which Im going to get on my own (Zerex G05). Thanks again for the...

Hello guys, I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 3.5L V6, and the coolant tank level is at or under the MIN mark. I asked a friend and he said its ok to just add distilled water, but he told me to double check before doing anything. So im just curious can I just add distilled water, or add coolant? Not...

hey guys im thinking of using this lubegard in my chrysler transmission that uses ATF+4... Can anyone point me in the right direction on which one to use? Im thinking this one - http://www.lubegard.com/C-112/LUBEGARD+Automatic+Transmission+Fluid+Protectant not sure what the differences are...

you know its weird im wondering the same thing... my car takes supposedly 5.7L, but last time I put in 6L and it was still halfway up the dipstick safe level reading...

I heard mopar's version (combustion chamber cleaner) is better. Im going to try it in a few weeks and cant wait for the smoke show!

just an update to this thread, I have been running the XD3 0W-30 and wix filter for a little over 2 months now in the car and no problems whatsoever, cant wait until the freezing cold January weather in the morning to see how it does, lol. :) I plan on keeping the oil and filter in there until...
