Bought my G used. Previous owner always used Castrol Syntec 5-30.
So I just continued. (not that it would really matter if I switched to another syn)...I did a Blackstone analysis at 5K miles (added a 1/2 qt. at 4K) after the last change...report was excellent. They suggested I keep going at least another 2K miles and maybe do another test.
Based on all that, I have no reason to do anything any different. Presently have just over 30K on car.

German Castrol full syn 0W30 and Purolator Pure One. Used to use Mobil 1 10W30 but my VQ burned a quart every 5,000 miles. Since switching to German Castrol it doesn't burn a drop.

the german castrol says made in germany on the back, the regular stuff says made in new jersey. I can't find any of the german stuff locally.

Anyone had any experience with ENEOS 0-50W racing oil??? Talked to another G owner the other day while filling up, and he said it was great on gas efficiency and performance...
