Great Deal on Castrol Syntec 0W-30 European Formula

Autozone has 5 qts of Syntec plus a K&H oil filter listed for$29.99 but when I purchased it, it rang up at $24.99. Thats a great deal for just the oil and the filters normally sell for 13.99. You wont find a filter for our cars but perhaps you can grab a filter for another car, or a friend. It's the most solid looking oil filter I've ever seen. The discount on the receipt was over $25.

I did this twice now.

Also, get their club card and scan it with purchases over $20 and get $20 credit after 5 scans. Adds up quickly.

Already picked up 30 quarts of Syntec 0w30 (aka German Castrol) and 6 K&N filters for my Dodge truck for a total of $175 inc tax with "rewards" card.

Thing is, I think I'm going to end up using the oil for the Dodge with long intervals as the w211 is going to see Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5w40 (229.51 spec) and the w210 seems very happy with Mobil 1 10w40 "high mileage". As good of an oil as GC is, our w210 has seen all of it's 240k miles on Mobil 1 (10w30, 15w50, 0w40, and now 10w40 HM) and is still on it's original head gasket & timing cover gasket, so I can't justify switching brands.

Can't argue with that track record. wow!! My w210 is closing on on 100k. Mobil 1 as well. No leaks and no oil consumption. Time to do the plugs although it runs smooth as new
