So, anyone with an oil pressure gauge using the 0w40 Mobil1 care to share
their oil pressure readings?  I'm running the 0w40 in my 1995.5 S6 for the
winter -- it sure lets the turbo spool quicker than 15w50!  But I have a clock
instead of an oil pressure gauge...  I am seeing LESS oil consumption w/ the
0w40...
