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.

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...

Anyone has used Valvoline oils?...
Published (2009-11-25 22:29:00)
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.

I think you need to condtion/clean the seals. Hopefully this will stop the oil consumption. Did you use dino before?

I suspect lots and lots of folks are. I usually run AMSOIL AFL, but ran M1 0W-40 for a few sessions around Texas World Speedway last weekend. I am thinking I may just stick with it from here on out.

Hi guys. Title says it, I would like some help in finding a good, readily available alternative to the factory required Castrol 10w60 TWS for my e46 M3. I have seen some guys go with the Mobil 1 15w50, but I wanted some real information from some enlightened people. Has anyone done a comparison between these two as far as UOA? Other brands? Thanks in advance for the insight.

That would be an OK choice as would Redline 5W-30 or Amsoil RD30.
