Settled for M1 0W-40 at Napa - which says for European cars
I found 0W-40 of Mobil 1 by the quart at the local Napa on sale for $5.98/qt. They don't have 5W-40 or 10W-40. And they don't have it in the 5qt size. Bought 10 quarts and a Napa Gold 1042 filter. This'll get me through the mild Alabama winter. Come spring, when I should be due for my next oil change, I'll continue my search for 5W-40 or 10W-40.
Picked up the LN Engineering spin-on adapter, new drain plug, and 10 crush washers. Hopefully they'll arrive by Friday so I can do the oil change this weekend. Didn't think about it until after I placed my order, but should have gotten the magnetic drain plug instead.
