I'm wondering which one is generally better for Euro applications. SS is a little bit thicker than Euro. Both seems to be PAO based - but which one has more PAO in formulation? Is there any difference in ZDDP/phosphorus content between SS and Euro? I've already tried SS 0W40 - wonderful oil, reduced my oil consumption to minimum. Now I have to change oil in my EA111 family VW group engine (like older 1.8 T etc.) - exactly low mileage (100 000 km) 1.4 8 valve version. So which one to choose - SS or Euro?
Both oils are not much more expensive than Mobil 1 New Life 0W40 - that has less PAO in formulation and looks on paper not as good as SS 0W40.
