Amsoil 5w40 European Engine Oil

[Ken2]

Fowvay,
You need some Schaeffer #9000 5W-40 in your garage. It is new, probably excellent, and $13+ per gallon.

Ken, I agree. I am almost due another nice big Schaeffer's order and I'll most likely buy a few cases of the 5W-40. In fact, I opened my last gallon of Neutra this weekend so by summer I'll place my order.

Losiho. Castrol does make their TXT Softec oil
in a 5w40 grade in the following countries:
Belgium, France, Denmark, finland, Italy, Norway
and South Africa. In some of those countries
(Belgium, France & South Africa), it is clasified
as a synthetic or Huiles synthtiqes. Now maybe
it is a mixture of grp 3 & grp 5 ester. I don't
think they will tell you anyway. But I do know
that this oil is designed to keep TDI engines
clean and is reccomended for my BMW.

Yes I knew that TXT is indeed a 5w40 in some parts of the world.

But I also suspect it has a different name depending on the market (same as the 5w30). With so many different markets blending their own Castrol, it's hard to know what's what
