Castrol GTX Start-Up Motor Oil

Getting my daily work-out of skimming through the motor oil websites and came across this nugget. What do you all think? http://www.castrolusa.com/products/default.asp?prod_mp=st&sc=startup Z-

If what they claim is true,might be a good idea for a city delivery type vehicle that is a lot of shut downs and restarts...Castrol recommends 3k oil changes?? hmmmmmmmmmmm

I think it was discussed on here about a week ago. Click here. Edit: Went to Wal-Mart last night to pick up some RainX and this new Castrol wasn't on the shelves yet.

Oops. My bad. I did a search, but nothing came up. Oh well...disregard then.

What's next? Who will be the 1st with an Atkins approved, low carb motor oil?

they should bring a real motor oil like SLX here and label it SLX so that we know what to buy.

Well, I'm pretty sure this Start Up oil will turn out to be the same thing as GTX Magnatec in Europe, which is probably a pretty solid oil. It will be interesting to get a look at the bottle and see where it's made.
