[s-cars] Who knows oil?

[Taka Mizutani]

Bill-
Next time search out a local Autozone for Castrol 0W30 "Made in Germany," or
Mobil 1 0W40 black cap. That Pennzoil 5W40 sounds like good stuff too.

Quaker State Q Power in either 0W40 or 5W40 is a decent euro-spec oil as
well. The 10W60 is the Ferrari fill.

BTW, all Castrol is not the same- German 0W30 is different from the US made
or Belgian made stuff.
