oil for allroad
my dealer told me that they use Penzoil 10/30. i hardly believe that regular Penzoil 10/30 can last for 10,000 miles, so i am thinking to switching to Castrol Syntec 5/50. what do you say guys.
ps. does anybody know anything about LubroMolly oil?

Castrol Syntec is not a true synthetic, but Group III dino oil.
It won't perform any better than the $.99 (US) stuff. True synthetics include Amsoil, Mobil1, and Schaeffers. Pennzoil & Valvoline aren't synthetic, either, and won't provide the extended protection that true synthetics do. I understand Audi (US) to say 0W30, or maybe 0W40, are the recommended weights; 5W30 can be used with decreased performance.
Molybdium (Mb) is a good antiwear additive, but I'm not familiar with LubroMoly.
