5w-30 is what stated in the manual and thats what all dealers and mechanics use.

the 0-30 is a lot harder to find.. theres more technical feed back to this but I cant remember it right now.

Castrol Syntec blend 10w30 summer, 5w30 for winter.

I might go for a mix of 2qts 10w30 and 3qts 5w30 next time for summer.

Were do most people buy Castrol 0w 30, almost all automotive stores I've been to only have 5w 30.

Why are you so concerned about the winter weight in Texas? 0W, 5W, it's all basicly the same. You will never need a 0W there. Certainly not in April

Go to Autozones site, in the search put 0w-30 and M1 and Castrol should show up, it will ask for your zipcode and then you can find out what stores carry it.
