 You may get better spool up, but I won't run anything but 15w-50 Mobil 1 e=
ven in the winter. And we do see teens and single digits here. Try pouring =
a quart of light weight regular oil in cold weather, even 15w50 mobil 1 pou=
rs better... Thats what is going on in your motor on startup. Better spoolu=
p with light oil, more wear...

Or lots more displacement and (relatively) small turbos.  The new RS6 4.2L =
V8
develops max torque at 1950 RPM.  I'll add this small observation: my RS2
turbo spools up faster (and lower boost threshold) with 0w40 Mobil 1 vs 15w=
50
Mobil 1.  I'm just uncomfortable running a 0w anything during the summer.  I
wonder how slippery Redline's 10w40 is?
