Anybody else see the irony of a guy in Kuwait unable to find oil?
Order some Royal Purple from an online distributor...or get the 5W-30.

+1, when I was on vacation and my oil change was due, I took it to a small town Ford dealership, all they had was 5w-30, it works fine. You might lose a couple of horses because it's less viscous, but I wouldn't worry about it. I didn't notice the difference.

This just seems too ironic to be true, but I agree use 5w30 you will be fine.

I don't think it's ironic. In Kuwait there is probably not NEARLY the call for your high-end oils as there is back in the states. Keep in mind, despite there being an abundance of oil, most kuwaities have no need for it. (Have you seen what they drive over there?)

It's not surprising to me, it just seems funny to me that it's hard to find oil in a country that produces as much oil as his.
