Good call on castro syntec!! Don't forget to check your old filter for metal particles



That's funny you typed that, I made a super power magnetic scavenger for the plastic housing out of some Lowes magnets and a dollar store dog collar.

Talked to a guy at a WalMart Supercenter's tire and lube dept. He said they no longer carry 10w40 in the Castrol Syntec.

I live in Florida and just bought Castrol Syntec 10-40. You should only run this in warm/hot climates. Cold weather I would go with the 0-40.

I use Mobil 1 10 40 for higher mileage cars (79,000). Can purchase at WalMart for less that $25 for a 5 quart jug.

Brad,
can you get the SKU number from one of the jugs?
I'm trying to get my local Walmart to order it. They think it doesn't exist.

My local Walmart here had Syntec 5-30W so, I used that last week. I don't sit in traffic or drive when it is 100 outside (since it rarely is here) and I feel OK using 5-30W. no 10-anything W was available.

My Mercedes would clatter valves if I used anything except 0-30w or 0-40w. Must be very tight in there.

I guess I didn't read your post carefully enough, I was looking for the Castrol Syntec 10w-40 in the 5qt jug SKU.

Does anybody have that?
