I used kendall 20w50 in race engines, though those saw 7-8 grand shifts, and lasted about a year.
As soon as my warranty is up on my SQ5 in November, I'll be going to Rowe Hitech Synth RS 5w-40. One of the very few true synthetic PAOs out there and on par with LiquiMoly pricing (USP Sells it w/free shipping).
Not really . My tuner (jackal motorsports) recommends Rowe RS synthetic oil . Currently using LM molygen , it's ok but apparentlyThe RS is the best stuff
Rowe 5W40, every 10K or 1 year
I found out that most of it came from the valve lifters. So I began using Rowe 10W40 engine oil. That helped a lot.
I go to a local Toyota/Lexus specialist here in San Diego. They use Kendall liquid titanium and it cost me about $75.
The road spec oils are excellent for daily driving and trackdays. Smoother engine, better engine efficiency, no oil consumption.
ITS A LOT THICK! than other brands of the same weight.. but when you abuse the vehicle it gets smooth like butter. I like them if I plan to aggressively dune bash.
Got these Rowe bottles. Fully Synthetic. German. Lets see how it performs.
I used both rowe 5w30 507.00 and the OEM VW HIGH PERFORMENCE 0w30 (yes 0w30) 507.00
I didnt notice any difference between the two . Wear on my oil analysis was about the same with both oils.
