0W30 German Castrol.

The 5W30 Castrol Edge is okay too, but not as good.

I just picked up 10 qts of german castrol on sale at Autozone. I have heard great things about it. Tell me, prinny, when you started using it did you notice a loss in fuel economy due to the fact that the GC tends to run on the thicker side for 30 weights? Doesn't matter to me... protection is better than a little fuel economy in my mind. I have seen the UOAs on this stuff. Quite impressive.
