I spotted a big jug at Wal-Mart this weekend (a store I avoid like the plague but unavoidable sometimes). I picked up the jug and read the label to be sure. It was the first time I'd ever seen a 40 weight on the shelf there, Castrol or Mobil 1 in either quart bottle or jug. Ditto for Costco, the Euro formula is tough to find. Even my Autozone doesn't always have at least 10 quarts of Castrol Edge 5-40 or 10-40.

again, to avoid controversy but just as an FYI for others to do their homework, I believe 0-40 is somewhat controversial for this engine according to the opinion of some engine experts who have posted here.
