The one I'm going to use is the Euro version. I won't touch the non-Euro Ultra because it is not an extended drain. I liken the 5W30 Euro version to that of Castrol Syntec 0W30, but the Euro version isn't out in stores yet and even with the base Ultra version I've only seen it in Walmart.

Yeah, I have the non-Euro ultra but I only do 3,000 miles per oil change even on synthetics. But next oil change after this will be Euro Ultra if it's out; which it should be. I picked this non-Euro Ultra up at Walmart for $28, I'm going to use it with a Toyota Oil Filter though.
