I've noticed that a lot of companies have now adopted "recommended for". No one can dispute that. I can "recommend" cooking oil for Ferraris if I want...

U can get 15w50 here as well, not as easy to find anymore. Email Mobil they will tell you, one i believe is more race orientated and sligthly thicker.

thank you guys for your response it could be due to some things as was startd it just be that i was using a second class filter such as fram. I dont know cuz im new to this all and am really trying to learn the most that I can. Ive tested different synthetics and using mobil 1 0w40 mobil 1 filter, seems to be holding up just fine even though its only been 300 hundred miles since last change. thee castrol could have just burnd up due to it...

No Fuchs oil is readily available here in North America unfortunately.

Again, half a quart in how many miles? Our Jetta seems to burn through half a quart in 2000 miles, regardless what I put in her.

Hi, hahnmgh63 You said: "Sorry Doug, I wasn't trying to step on your toes. I am not telling him to buy Redline, I'm just telling him that their are better oils out there, not ones that meet the minimum Euro spec but ones that exceed it too. Amsoil is another one that exceeds Mobil 1 specs by a 10% margin. And if you think that Porsche uses stock Mobil 1 in their racing engines, and not a special blend, your crazy. Just...

So long as it's Wesson. Good stuff.

Finally, I used Motul 8100 Xcess 5w40 full synthetic oil, being BMW LL98 and my engine being made in 1994 I thought it was a better idea than BMW LL04. Great so far, less noisy than Magnatec 10w40 and oil pressure light turns off faster.
