Default do you even own an Audi?

since you troll all the forums . . . .

either way . . . look at the chemistry of Redline oils and you'll understand that Moly is actually a very good thing . . .

Default Motul 5w40 is actually fairly unspectacular . . . . the motul 0w40, 0w30 & 300v series

are the actual ones with ester goodness.

IMO, they're just making easy money off of you with the non-ester synths.

Default Both Audi's I own are better than your little A3. Now...

you like moly so much(LOL) go buy a jug of Slick 50. Most oil brands got away from moly additives years ago when it became evident that instead of inpregnating the metal surfaces, most of it just collected in the pan and tended to cause oil sump flow problems.

Redline oils, eh? That tells me where you're coming from, LOL.

Default There are many options ...

I just bought 5L LubroMoly from http://www.worldimpex.com/. NAPA carries Valvoline SynPower 5W-40. If they don't have it in stock, they can order it. It is part number 966 at NAPA. Wal-Mart carries Shell Rotella T 5W-40.

Default Um, you're an asshat . . . I suppose Motul 300V is crappy oil then?
