[BiturboS4] Mobil1 0w40

[California Fields]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Amsoil also sells 0W40 synthetic. You can order directly from their website=
. I
put in an order today for their S200 0W30 synthetic today.  Hmm...maybe I
should try that Mobil 0W40.

One negative thing I heard about oils that have such wide spreads between t=
he
two numbers (i.e. 0W40 versus 10W30) is that they need lots of additives to
make the oil flow at each of those extreme numbers...and so there is actual=
ly
less percent of actual oil in the mixture.  I even heard of "frothing" when=
 a
guy in Europe opened his oil cap after driving on the autobahn for a couple=
 of
hours with 5W40 synthetic.

Of course, this is all hearsay and so I will do some research today on the
internet (since the debate seems to be still open).  One thing about the 15=
W50
that seems bad is that it won't flow as well during startup as the 0W* or 5=
W*.
Since a lot of engine wear occurs during startup, wouldn't you want the best
flowing oil at that temp?
