I can look after work if needed, just hate having to make two trips.

Will hit AutoZone and look for either Ryan's Castrol suggestion or this stuff. If I find neither on my lunch outing, will look harder for something to pickup on the way home.

Thanks

0W-40... I'm running Mobil 1 0w-30 till the summer then Mobil 1 0w-40

She's running a lot better w/ Mobil 1 0w-30 right now, very little turbo whine (siren). Mobil 1 0w-40 for summer will give better protection for the higher degree summer days.<ul><li><a href="http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Car_Care/Vehicle_Chooser/VehicleChooser.aspx?option=2">Mobil 1 Link</a></li></ul>

RS4 oil cooler, but any one will fit the bill (Matrix/Achtuning/RS4)...

...I started off running RedLine 5w30 after hating Mobile 1 0w30. Then while on track, hit 300+ oil temps, so switched to Castrol TWS 10w60 to get the temps under control.

Added the RS4 oil cooler, that brought the normal temps from 250 to 200, then switched to German Castrol 0w30.
