PSA Castrol Oil

Hi guys

I noticed that Amazon has the Castrol 10w60 oil with 20% off the first shipment if you create subscribe and save which comes out to be around $100 for 12 bottles. I believe it's part of prime day thing.

just fyi.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't use that garbage though. Been running 0w40 Mobil 1 for the past 6 months and car is much smoother, warms up faster and has less engine noise. I get mine from Walmart in the bag in a cardboard box for $50 for 12 quarts. Now my oil analysis results are much better than with the original molasses factory 10w60.

Are you on stock rod bearings?

No, BE Bearings. But I ran it before I got the bearing job done and did three oil tests. two with 10w60 and one with 0w40. The latter was better. Stock oil is too thick combined with the tiny rod bearing tolerances.
