Does German Castrol compare favorably to M1?
What are the pros/cons of each?
quote:Based on price, I don't think it would be a fair comparison. A new Toyota owner probably doesn't require it and might run into warranty issues. It would be fair to compare M1R with Redline.

quote:Which M1 are we comparing GC with? If you're comparing 0w-30 to 0w-30, then yes, I'll most definitely give the edge to GC. But, if you compare M1 0w-40 to GC 0w-30 (which I believe is a much more fair and ideal comparison), then the gap is ever so close...
Originally posted by haley10: I think GC not only compares favorably with M1, I would give it a slight edge. GC is more versatile, since it is a comparably priced 0W-30. I will put my Nomex suit on now.![]()
quote:The employees do not know what GC is. You have to go the shelves and look for made in Germany on the back of the bottles. The manager of one AutoZone insisted the his store did not carry German made oil. I made him go in the back anyway and he came back with a case that had made in Germany printed on it. He was speechless.

quote:Yip M1 5-30 and 10-30 is cheaper at Wally's in the jugs, but only in these weights. The others are similar in price. M1R can be had from our sponsor, right here.
Originally posted by T-Keith: Well GC is $5 around here, since it's only available at Autozone. M1 is usually between $3.75 and $4 a quart, so that's not exactly a fair comparison either. How much does M1R go for, I've never seen it before. -T
quote:LOL, pscholte, OK, knock it off. Repeat this 10 times: "GC has no mystic qualities". The manager simply was speechless due to the "I am an idiot" message flashing in his brain. It had nothing to due with gummy bears. This GC "Elixir of Life" legend is growing more each week!
...and well he should be...in the presence of The Green...
quote:Blue99. ...mystic qualities?...Elixer of Life?...growing legend?...whatever are you talking about? You'd almost think someone was...you know...like writing poems or something about the stuff...or talking about it all the time
