Hi there.
I have a car that uses C2 oil as standard. From what I have read online, the only real difference I can see between C2 and C3 is that C3 has a higher HTHS rating.
From what I can tell, this drops MPG by about 0.4-0.7% (According to an oil manufacture website), but gains higher engine protection and stronger film strength.
I'd happily give up 0.5% or so MPG to know that my turbo bearings, timing chain, cylinder bores etc are protected with a higher film strength oil.
What are peoples thoughts? Does my logic stack up here?
Thanks in Advance.
