Looks OK on paper, Nice Boron #.
OK? It looks great! Huge calcium, 200 ppm more phosphorus then GF-4, monster TBN, big boron. And it's not super duper thick. This is the universal, most widely available oil that's perfect for all European vehicles.

It also works well.

Yeah I agree. All things considered, you won't find a much better 0w oil.

Where can I find it in SW Florida?

Nearly every auto parts store has it (or can get it), and some wal-marts / k-marts have it too. It might be found at MB / BMW / VW/Audi dealers too?
You can buy it from amazon.com too (free shipping / no tax in most places):

As I recall GC's viscosity at 100 is in the...mid 12s?
And we have seen from used oil analysis that this 0W40 quickly shears to a 30wt so maybe in an engine this M1 acts much like super duper thick GC?

Hi,
21Rouge - You said this:

This may be so but in many applications this lubricant has a very stabil viscosity over very long OCI

Umm......... How 'bout those bears !

The Mobil 1 High Mileage 10w30 has density of .87 v, .85 and a lower 100deg C viscosity but the same HTHS above 3.5cSt. And a -65F pour point. And higher zddp. So it should provide more power and fuel mileage and maybe more protection than this oil. I do like the high boron # though ...

HECK I'd run that it in my cav which spece 5w30. That looks excellent, more ZDDP and Boron than PP. Very nice.

You talking the HM 10w30?

With all the glowing talk the last several months (and more) re this oil I think that is what many are considering.
