[s-cars] 0w-40 for S6?

[jpb3]

I'll chime i here,

I use Castrol over the Mobil oil b/c it runs cooler.  I can tell a
difference between the two 5W oils on the temp gauge in the car. 
Also, being a 2 wheel enthusiast Castrol does some serious R&D on
their oils for their bikes and I assume this is carried over to the 4
wheel stuff too!

It's all personal preference though.  Which bottle do you like, which
is cheaper, which is available.  I have never been a Mobil fan(Exxon)
since Valdez.
