Had a good UOA using Mobil Euro 0W40 in 2013 Mercedes SLK230 1.8 liter Turbocharged.
4600 miles with 35,000 total miles on car. Used no oil.
I only do 5K or less on my oil changes not the 10K recommended by MB
SUS Viscosity at 210F is 58.0 should be 64to 74
cST Viscosity at 100C is 9.65 should be 11.3 to 14.3
fuel %
Comparing this to others using Mobil Euro 0W40 my viscosity seemed to drop a lot.
Blackstone comments were "the low viscosity isn't a problem"
I'm wondering if this turbo engine is especially hard on oil. My previous SLK was a 2.3 liter Supercharged and didn't have low oil viscosity on excellent UOAs.
I'm considering trying Castrol 0W40 Euro with Titanium on next oil change.
Is Titanium an advantage?
What do you guys think?
