Do they sell the German Castrol at Auto-Zone? I need to change mine and if it's cheaper than Mobile 1 I'll get it instead.

I have quite a bit of valvetrain noise with Mobil 1 0W-40...

I picked up some German Castrol 0W-30 while up north, so I'll use that in a few changes ans see if there's any change.

Just had my oil changed this morning and dumped the Mobil1 5w 30 and Fram oil buster ... for 6 quarts of Mobil1 0w 40 and a K&N oil filter. Valvetrain noise only slightly subsided, but, I'll drive it around for few more miles and see if it continues to help a little more. I guess I'm just stuck with the noise. Anyone think a new set of Stage 1.5 AFR 205's will make the demon go away?
