[s-cars] Mobil 1 / other high performance oils

[Pram]

A colleague of mine at work had his 2000 S4 turbos replaced by the
dealer due to worn bearings (turbo squeals with increase in engine rpm)
at 25kmiles.  He was following Audi oil recommendations and uses M1
5W-30 every 5kmiles.  He had Hoppen stage 1 ECU upgrade at 4.5kmiles.
Car is in SoCal, hence exposed to the triple digit ambient air sometimes.

I would avoid using the light 0W-30 M1 on modified turbo Audi.

Personally, I use either Redline 10W-40 or Motul 8100 5W-40 or 10W-40 in
all my cars except my Honda Odyssey which specify 5W-20 ( I use M1
0W-30).
