[s-cars] Texas tea...oil, that is...

[Jason Mawhinney]

This is interesting.......Mobil 1 recommends this on their website.  It does have the A3 rating that I've been told is the one to look for.  http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil_1_0W-40.aspx

  I've noticed that too (the lesser consumption of the lower viscosity oil, in my case
  M1 10W-30) in the UrS6. Anyone have any idea why this is?

    I use mobil 1 15/50 in summer and 5/30 winter.

    Wow!  This really could open this can of worms again!  If you can't tell, 
    this subject has been beaten to death on this list but it seems that while
    everyone groans about it, they always comment.  Anyway, I use the big juggs
    from Wally world.  M1 15-50 Extended Performance is supposedly the one that 
    has the ratings for our cars.  We also get down to the single digits and
    less in the winter around here in Boone, NC but rarely get up to 90 in the
    summer.  This is all I run in my beasts and have not experienced any 
    problems.
