Virginia Beach M1 0W40 and GC 0W30 are very {similar|comparable|related} in viscosity - {both|each} {would be|can be|could be} {a good|a great|a superb|a very good|an excellent} {choice|alternative|selection} {for your|in your|on your|to your} {car|automobile|automotive}. {I don't|I do not} see a {reason|cause|motive|purpose} to pay a premium for {the other|the opposite} {choices|decisions|selections} {you've|you have|you've got} listed, {unless|except|until} you {want|need} {to be able to|to have the ability to} brag about how {much|a lot} you spent on oil to {all of your|all your|your entire|your whole} Audi buddies. {I would|I might|I'd} {choose|select} the {one that|one which} {you can get|you may get|you will get} {easily|simply}/cheaply. {Make sure|Be certain|Be certain that|Be sure|Be sure that|Ensure|Ensure that|Make certain|Make sure that} it meets your spec.

Colorado Springs I {bought|purchased} not {long time|very long time} {ago|in the past} CC with that engine. My first oil change was M1 0W40. The oil that was in {before|earlier than} was Castrol SLX 5W30. Big {difference|distinction}, {especially|particularly} in {reduction|discount} of noise. Also, with Castrol I {could|may|might} {smell|odor|scent} {gas|fuel|gasoline} dilution, with M1 {I am|I'm} {still|nonetheless} {waiting|ready} for {gas|fuel|gasoline} to strat to {smell|odor|scent}, {but|however} nothing {yet|but}. {I would|I might|I'd} go {either|both} with M1 or GC! 6.80, {you cannot|you can not|you can't} beat that.
Now {both|each} of {those|these} oils are Group IV. People get fired up for no {reason|cause|motive|purpose}. What are your driving habits? {I am|I'm} from europe, and {I am|I'm} 7yrs {in the|within the} US and {I am|I'm} {yet|but} to see {more|extra} abuse of engine/brakes/tires then on {fast|quick} european roads. Pennzoil 5W40 is group III, {but|however} in Europe, {old|outdated|previous} Shell Helix 5W40, which is Pennzoil Ultra 5W40 {here|right here}, was {one of the most|one of the|one of the crucial|one of the vital|probably the most|some of the} {respected|revered} oils. {I was|I used to be} {often|typically|usually} {traveling|touring} in Germany and {sometimes|generally|typically} {I would|I might|I'd} drive 2-3hrs {keeping|conserving|holding|maintaining|preserving|protecting|retaining} engine above 4000 rpms, and guess what? Noooo any {issues|points} ever. Here on these roads with these {speed|pace|velocity} limits, {those|these} engines {could|may|might} go 500,000 miles like nothing {if you|for those who|if you happen to|in case you|in the event you|should you|when you} maintaine them they {way|approach|manner|means|method} they deserve!
