@ Triple_Se7en:
In the german Motor oil Forum, it´s all about PAO, PAG, Ester. Grp III oils are not so good.
You should only use a 10w- or 15w- oil because of the thick base oil, or the bearings in your engine get destroyed in no time. Because of this, 0w- or 5w- oils are crap.
BTW, Cold start wear does not exist.
The Big companys dont make decent oils, the make averag oils. Only little, lesser known Companys (Gulf, Penrite, Kroon, Pakelo) make good oil.
Manufacturer approvals are not so critical.
The newest hype: Use Motorcycle oils in Cars. Better base oils, better additive package.
Compare this to BITOG.
How is right?
As person who worked on testing to get approval (VW504.00/507.00) I will tell you that manufacturers of vehicles who have approval process are right.
