Hmm, that Green stuff doesn't look all that healthy. Looks like they mixed Antifreeze with Motoroil. YUCK!! I wouldn't think a 0W30 would be thicker than a 5W30. Seems the 0W30 would flow a lot better and protect from cold starts and when it gets hot protect like a normal 30 weight oil. I actually will switch to Mobile One 0W40. It is especially designed for High Revving engines like ours. I don't think I will put that GC green stuff into my car

BTW, I am going to Germany next month for work and I will check out some of their oils. Over there OIL is damn expensive. One time the rental car I had (A Golf TDI) was a quart low and I just wanted to dump the cheapes oil I could find at a gas station in there but the attendent told me that the Turbo Diesel require a special Turbo Diesel Oil and it void the warranty if I didn't put the right type of oil in there. Okay, so he hands me this Liter of Oil for 28 Euros. I almost shit my pants. 28 Euros (36USD) for a lousy Liter of Oil...
GEEZ.... I went ahead and paid it since the Car Rental Company would pay me back anyway but overall that was totally crazy... The cheapest Oil I found was the ARAL brand and still cost about 12 Euros per Liter. Outrageous.
