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.
