    Okay so I got lucky again and won a case of 12 Castrol TWS Motorsport 10w-60 motor oil donated by Sear's Imports at our last BMW/Audi event at BIR this weekend. The oil is sythetic and I was told it's very expensive. Everything on the back is all in German except for the Caution description. ​

    So my question is can I use it in my Subaru? ​

    I wouldn't use it; too heavy of a weight imho.

    I think even a 50 weight oil is pushing it, though I've heard some guys run it in a scoob for extremely hot track days. 60 would probably not be a good idea - it'd almost be like a syrup when it's hot I'd imagine. Scoop it up with a fork?

    Hey who has a BMW on this board? I recall at least 2-3 people, maybe they can use it. I just checked the back label again and there's a phone number, it says for a good time call Justin! LOL

    The highest weight the manual goes to is 10/20w-50. That's for "very high temps" and towing.

    See if you can trade it in for some 0w-30 GC. :yumyum:

    I'm thinking about it. That Saturday I have to go work with the local ROTC guys but Sunday is open. I'll have to ask the wife. I'm assuming northstar still needs corner workers and such?

    If I do decide I'll give Jorge a buzz.
