Mobil 1 15W50
Changed it for Mobil 1. My owner's manual specifies API CD oil, so the mobil 1 should be fine (says it is suitable for CF applications).
API (SF) oil usualy contains way more detergent than Diesel CF grade oil. I'm not sure what this kind of oil can do to your engine... But I would suggest using Mobil Delvac 1 oil.
Here's something kinda interesting, when using Mobil 1 5w30, I experienced a higher rate of oil consumption than with Mobil 1 0w-40...I was losing approx .5 quarts every 2k miles...the 0w-40 loses nothing between 3k...
Same here. My oil temps are on average 20 degrees F cooler with the 5w-40 as compared to Mobil 1 15w-50.
Mobil 1 0W-40. Specifically engineered for European cars.
3500 to 4500 on my VR6. always mobil 1 since 20k miles....now with 88k miles.
For highway driving on a vr6, oil should be changed every 5k. City driving is 3k. BTW, go for 5w30 Mobil 1 Tri-synthetic. NICE!
No prob....I switched to Mobil 15w50 after the previous owner's 140k worth of dino. She's dry as a bone.
I switched my GLI to Mobil 1 at 105k and experienced no external leakage. I noticed only a minor increase in oil consumption which was back to 'normal' by the next oil change.
