My last Oil change was using 5w-30 conventional oil. Which is much different than the 5w-20 Syn that VW uses.
I've decided to buy the Motul 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 for my first oil change. It's fully synthetic, low SAPS and has a high shearing tolerance. Even the TBN is relatively decent.
When I dumped my dealer Syntec 5w-40 for M1 0w-30 in Dec, it was night-and-day. Way lighter and better.
Just changed my oil in my '02 Camaro. It has the LS1 and just rolled over 150,000 miles. I use Mobil 1: 5w-30. It hasn't seen anything other than Mobil 1 so that's what I use haha.
Mobil 1 extended performance 5w-30. I don't drive many miles and I want the extra life of the oil in months. Plus Mobil 1 is factory fill on my LS2.
I ran Mobil 1 or German Castrol synth in my BMW (inline 6), and run Castrol GTX in my v8 truck.
I :heart: M1 0w-40
I love the Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 for normal duty. It meets the latest 504.00/507.00 VW standards (newer than 502/505), and is specifically designed for diesel motors. Turbos are tough on oil, and diesel oils take prolonged periods of high heat much better.
i have used M1 0-40 for years and its been great IMHO. not too thick at startup, not too thin at op temp.
Mobil 1 0W40 VW 502... Great stuff.
