Tons of the rear 6RS carriers are available in Germany Chris... I bought a set of 7.1RS carriers and 6RS carriers recently to have as spares. Both came in from Germany but the 7.1RS was low stock if I recall, no issue on the rear..

I have been doing half-and-half.

I was going to ask you about that next time we spoke, thanks!

I can never understand why 5W-50 is so difficult to get here in the USA whereas in Canada they sell 5L jugs of it in Walmart.

I guess I will order some for delivery then. I usually order it from my local NAPA which is next door to my office. Wonder why they can't get it. I'll ask them tomorrow.

Oh bummer! Did you try maybe doing a local pickup instead?

Never mind... I see you tried local pickup first, and will try switching to delivery.

We need @2fcknfst to start boot-legging some of those Walmart 5L jugs down here....

Can't say that I've ever had an issue running M1 0w40. Used it for years and years across multiple Euro cars.

I've heard about issues with using Mobil 1, so I've just avoided but don't really have any evidence...

@2fcknfst Better money spent than a foundation repair I've got to do...

Home renovations - I didn't know I could spend money with this velocity and not end up with a new hot motor...

Me either, however, using a 50/50 mix of Mobil1 0w40 and 5w-50 really helps reducing chain noise in these engines.
