Stupid Question - What Motor Oil are you using? And where do you get it?

[fukinavit]

im on the Redline euro 5w40 train, local to me and reasonable price with specs hard to beat.

i used to run BND for a while but way too expensive and not a year round oil (especially up here) that stuff is gross in the winter.

Gross, as in thick, or?

Was on the Redline bandwagon for about 10 years prior to the 20 year run with Amsoil so far. Admittedly it was out of desperation being in Wisconsin where it's made. It immediately proved itself in sub zero temps. Based on gleaning tech specs and white paper report, was impressed with their consistent performance across the board compared to other key players- engine, trans/ATF and gear oils. Best oil filter for the RS6 I've found so far as well. Completes the package of protection as it were.

Been running BND in my car here in NY and have had no issues. Not sure what you mean by "gross". Perhaps reach out to Brian?

Basically if you run your car below zero (c) use something else.
I got caught when winter came early, my car was sat at work for a few days when I returned to pick it up. Was about - 5c and engine clattered away and oil pressure light remained on for about 10 seconds.
I did an oil change in my garage a few days later and the oil drained like tar, all congealed and separated. My garage heater had quit so again it was around zero when I did this.

For an advertised 8w oil it's way too thick for me. Probably okay for warmer climates but certainly not year round use for me.

I went to redline 5w40 and she likes it alot better, alot cheaper, good start up and no noises = win win
