I am guessing the Current Red Lable NA stuff is green, not the older yellow lable. The yellow was made in '01/'02 according to the date codes.quote:

There are several bottles at the Georgetown location of Autozone.
You guys are insane!
I'll just stick with Amsoil.
I can't remember ever seeing a user thats done back-to-back-to-back tests comparing the two oils.Sounds like a nice challenge to the green elixer freaks to me.Run 3 consecutive UOA's with one,switch to the other,do 3 consecutive UOA's.I imagine what you'll find is that the difference in wear numbers will be in the noise of the accuracy of the lab.quote:

Or just the Data on the stuff? Why is it the best???
About the only advantage GC has is that it's a semi-OTC oil.
Try the Autozone.com web page, enter your zip, and see if your local store can order it. Special orders say 3-5 days (and currently in stock).
I just searched parts for keyword Castrol and clicked the 0W-30 link for Syntec. Says you can enter it in your shopping basket too.

All the link sez is ERROR.....
The purpose of my orignal post was to express my personal frustration with the constant post about GC and the lack thereof.
I see it is still elusive and only available to the few and not the "regular guy".....Just really tired of hearing about it and cannot find nor get it on a off chance nor regular basis...so why is it so constantly endorsed and worshiped? I am happy for the few who can get it...but my question is...why endorse or recommend a product that is not widely available...nor on a regular/consistant basis?
Think about it. I go on a scavenger hunt to find my oil......nevermind.........

Actually, I think it's the other way around. The oil is available for the average guy, but elusive from the select few.
Get your zip code into while doing a store search.
Then try this page: Part search and do a part search for 06068.
For my store it's a 'normal' stock item.

I caught 22 of those elusive green elves, lured in w/ my $22 GW bait from 2 of 5 stores I went to elf hunting today...
Well I guess I can quit my whimpering and crying now cuz I hit the motherload of single cell pink bellied warblers.......three eyed spotted owls....
47 quarts were found at the AutoZone on Junction Hwy. in Kerrville, Texas this morning. 12 of them are now mine. Red Label...made in Germany...green stuff......he said he has lots of it and can get as much as I want. It is all he stocks...said the "other stuff" doesn't sell....$4.25 per quart......now I get to see! I'll stop crybabying now.....

Lemme see, I made two returns to switch the yellows to red labels. Both times they screwed up on the refunds and both gave me too much credit(one gave $1.12 more, the other $5.08 more).
I actually paid only $23.03 w/ tax for 27 GCs.
Two weeks ago,I purchased all the GC in Fargo, ND. I am going back this weekend and will check out if they were restocked with GC or NA or neither.
Holy smokes! That's about what 1 liter of SLX costs around here.quote:

So I guess the $1 price is dead?
Great! I live in Plant City where there is no GC.quote:

I just hit two AZ'z here in Lancaster. Found 6 in one and 9 in the other. It is on sale for $3.99/qt. I will be doing a UOA in Mobile 1 5W-30 and will be trying the GC followed by a UAO. This is on a 96 Blazer with 63K.
