Just cause I like to stir the pot, and I stayed out of the 15w50 oil discussion...
Here's the oil I use.
Great stuff, gotta order it though.
Why is it great? I dunno... just is.

To further stir the pot - the data sheet does not give HTHS viscosity data, nor is it ACEA A3 rated.
My initial conclusions about this oil is that while it may be an excellent oil for a 0w-20 wt, I would be reluctant to use it as it is likely too thin at operating temps for our engines and my guess would be that it would shear down thinner than 0w-40 M1 (which seems to be the biggest complaint against that viscosity of M1 based upon my observations of posts on the subject of what oil to use here on the AW B5 forum).
I have no experience, and like I said - these are just my initial impressions from reading the data sheet. For all I know, it could be the best oil made for our 2.7t engines...
