Yes but same problem .Availability and cost.
Mine was too high off the wall, dilution is a difficult issue on TC cars,

I managed to get Fuchs Supersyn plus 5w-40w from GSF, so, going to try this for 3000 miles and see what happens...

Happier with this oil since its coming to winter and I feel the 10w60 is going to be too thick for cold morning starts ???
