A little background. A couple weeks ago, I called one of our stores after searching the UPC code that someone posted in one of the GC threads.
Our hub store showed a stock of 37 quarts but it had it listed as 10W-30. I knew this was incorrect because this was the 0W-30 UPC code. I had a day off today, so I drove to the hub store. Two bottles were on the shelf but they were the U.S. variety with the red label. I asked one of the managers on duty to let me into the "oil trailer" which houses oil which doesn't fit in the back...it was kind of like looking through an old storage room.
I must have had my sniffer on, because I immediately found a stash of it. The date codes found that most were M05 variety, made in Germany. I snatched up 10 of them and we found 20 total. I left some in the trailer. I figure if I want some more, I can always get it later...I know where it is.
With that said, my car is specd for 5W-20. I have a 2.3L 2006 Ford Fusion with a manual transmission. I have done a few mods to it, including a reflash of the PCM. I have heard a lot of good things about the GC, but I have yet to use it. Would my car be a good fit to try out out the GC? I am running a 5W-30 in it now during the summer and our summers are HOT. Thoughts? What is in this magic GC that makes it so good? I figure I can give it a try for two oil changes unless I hear that it may not be a good fit for my car. Thanks in advance.
