blueglide88, please do a search and you will find a ton of info. We are currently awaiting a lab analysis of the stuff to see what it's really made of.

OK guys, so whats the deal with GC? What makes it so specail? I really don't know what you guys are talking about. Are you talking aboput Syntec? Is there a different formula used in Germany compared to the US? How do you know? Has there been any VOA's on it? Do you consider it better than M1? What are the elves about? So many questions.......

With a starting visc. of 67.5, I wouldn't necessarily call Longtec 'thinner'...quote:

That fits with my speculation that this may be the Longtec formula.

If it's the Longtec formula, they should have changed the label to show that it meets the MB 229.5 spec, correct?
DoubleDee, does the new stuff smell like the old?

You GOTTA go at least to 5K on it...the Elixer is worthy of your patience.quote:

Hey I'm running GC in my iron monster 4.0 Jeep. How many miles do you guys want me to run it? I'm @ 2700 now and it's still golden, not dark at all!
I just picked up a 6 qt jug of QS and am itchin to try that in the Jeep!
Help me!
Don't I see hints of Green dancing playfully around the...um-m-m...periphery? If this board has taught me anything, it has taught me not to overreact...but I got to tell you this turn of events with GC has got my perplexity meter moving toward the amber zone. This is all very curious. The Elves have asked me not to ask them any questions about it, so who knows....quote:

It's actually amber.
