Finally found some: Castrol Syntec 0W-30

I had no luck finding it last winter but I got lucky this year at a Autozone in the Bronx. I just changed my oil yesterday and wow does is make a difference during cold start up. It's so much quieter than before.



For those of you who are not familiar with oil weights, the first number describes the viscosity at low temperature. Meaning the lower it is, the thinner it is. Yet, at operating temperature it's a 30 weight. I would recommend using this all year round if it's available.
