The things you can find at Estate Sales

[JMinPDX]

I usually buy Castrol 20w50 for my M10s & M30. Happened upon an estate sale near my house and found 20 QTs of GP1 20w50 high zinc racing oil. Thoughts on using it in a stock m30? At $2.00ea I could not pass it up.
It was the estate of a Porsche owner. Also found Wurth brake cleaner(2), LiquiMolly injection cleaner(6j and Motul Dot 4 brake fluid (2).

No Porsches but a nice 86 Mercedes 300e that tempted me but I did not bid on it.

i wouldn't hesitate. your m30 will love it, and your bearings will thank you for the high zinc content.

I’d certainly have no problem using it in my M30. As the owner of an air-cooled 911 that uses ~11 quarts of high-zinc 20W50, I’d buy whatever I saw at $2/qt in a heartbeat.
