Considering that we make like 5K a year with Tiguan, using 0W30 makes more sense. However, it is value issue. You get 0W40 in Wal Mart for $25, and you really cannot beat that.

Since it seems to me that Walmart does not try to cover all the bases but only sells what sells best, I am surprised that the demand for 0W-40 is high enough that they feature it and at a good price

Yeah, the 0w-40 grades (both M1 and Castrol) are very often sold out at my local Walmart.

I am surprised. QP, is the Great Lakes region a "Car Place?" We moved and our new city is DEFINITELY a "Car Place!"

I'm surprised, too. It's mostly an American "car place", so typically no need for fancy Euro oils.

Where did you move to?

Oklahoma. Just north of Oklahoma City... Lots of Euro mobiles
