Thanks for the heads up on the coupon.
I posted about this find late last year, and so far am happy with the oil and the no glug spout. I have used the empties as wvo vessels...came in real handy.

Ive used the no glug bottle. It works great plus i like castrol oil much better than rotella. A mercedes mecanic told me that the castrol soots less and lasts longer

Funny, I just 'impulse bought' 3 gallons of oil today myself. 2 Delvac, one Mobil 1. I'm going to do my own oil blending when it gets warm enough.

Which Castrol are you using?

That's a unique oil. I'll bet it's not easily obtained.

What's the price of it?

thats what the post is about

I just put my first batch of the Castrol in my 300d yesterday. Had been running Rotella 5-40 synthetic. It was great starting on cold days, however, when I ran the Benzer over 65 mph, that slippery stuff would start crawling out of the oil-fill cap and probably other places as well.
Did a prelimary run at 75 with the new stuff and the valve cover appeared to stay dry/clean.

So far I haven't been able to find it. I'd probably give it a go if I could find a bottle to look at. On a side note, while I was looking for it I found a place that has Mobil 1 5W-40!

About $8.50/gal.

Advance sometimes has it for $5.00/gal., on sale.

That's not all that bad. I first thought it was a synthetic, but clearly not, at that price.

These posts are like deja vu all over again. Anbody bother reading the 1st page...?

The sale at Advance ended last Saturday. And the reg price is $7.95 per gallon. ANd it's NOT synthetic. I will post a pic tomorrow of the bottle. Only my son knows how to upload pics from the digital camera......
