Heads up! GC 0w-30 at Pep Boys for cheap.

Some Asian Guy · 08-05-2015, 06:55 PM

Just thought I'd share, German Castrol 0w-30 (Part number 06244) is currently $6.37 per qt if you order online and pick up in-store (at least in the DFW area, it is). Use AUG30 to get 30% off orders over $60. Seven qts comes out to $44.52.

so, still more expensive than walmart's normal price, even on sale

$25.97 or so for a 5qt, so just over $5/qt everyday pricing

Some Asian Guy · 08-05-2015, 07:06 PM

I was not aware that walmart sold GC 0w-30...I've never seen it there.

$22.97, my bad

Neither of those are the GC. As far as I know, the 0w-30 is the only German-made Castrol.

key phrase: as far as you know

Here's the data sheet straight from castrol showing 0-40 and the 5-40 as BMW Longlife 01

Not available at my Walmart. Bear in mind all Walmarts don't carry the same stuff.
If I needed oil I would jump on the deal mentioned.
YMMV applies well here...

Maybe you didn't see the "free shipping on $35+"?

That oil is from belgium...didn't know oil was produced there.

cgrizzly888 · 08-06-2015, 12:33 PM

Is Ow-30 or 0w-40 better for an n55? I'm currently use mobil 1 0w-40. Thanks.

PhaseP · 08-07-2015, 12:00 AM

Advance Auto has Pentosin Pento HP 5W30 as another alternative LL-01 speced oil. Not as cheap as Walmart European Castrol or Mobil 1 though.

lookalikehuuh · 08-07-2015, 12:05 AM

ill stick to my Mobil 1 0w-40 that ive been using forever. Its never let me know and ive sold all my previous cars with well over 250k miles on the odometers.

current E90 is sitting at 150k no issues. Mobil 1 till i die... lol!
