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

[LL - NY]

The few times I bothered to Autocross the 200 
(not worth it, it's too piggy) with Castrol Syntec 
in it, I got TONS of lifter tap after each run. The
times I ran with M1 (okay, I'm stubborn), there
was much less lifter tap, and it generally went
away by the time I got back to the grid (runs 
were in heats). I've run M1 ever since. And if
you check the forums, there's all sorts of talk
of Castrol having significantly more Dino in the
manufacture of the oil. FWIW.
