Engine oil MOTUL or AMSOIL
Amsoil dominator 15w50 Cold (15c ambient) start up pressure = ~70psi Warm (200f) idle pressure = ~35psi Max hot (~270f) pressure @ 5th gear WOT = ~87psi and it holds steady Cruising on the highway (220f @ ~3k RPM) I see ~65-70psi Everything is well within factory spec with added protection, less consumption, proper flow, and better high heat retention. I'm gonna stick with Amsoil for a while.
I ran this for 200k and ways very happy with results. Had the oil tested twice in a lab and was happy with the results.
The 8100 X-Cess. It has actually improved my fuel economy!
Well the oil change itself is unbelievably easy and clean. The Motul oil works well for me.
I run Motul in the Subaru with a bunch of track days and it has had no oil related problems and does not burn excessive amounts of oil with almost 75,000 miles.
Have you given the Motul Specific 502.00/505.00/505.01 a try? I switched to it years ago on my mk5 rabbit (140k miles or so over the past 5.5 years across 3 cars) with excellent results. It is a mid SAPS oil like the x-clean as well.
Cost me 62 dollars using motul xcess 8100 5w40 and took 15 minutes start to finish.
much to my surprise, the motor has not burned a drop of oil in the first 50,000 miles (I change the oil every 5000 miles).
I've used Motul in my Golfs for years, good stuff.
Amsoil 10-30 was my choice on my 200,000 mile 2001 jetta + i changed @ 10,000 usually 4 to 6 months. car was chipped etc, about 300 tq + 275 TQ with a KO-4 + APR tune etc.
