Default I experience cooler temps with Amsoil 5w-40 Euro after...

flushing out Mobil 0w-40 and 5w-30 several times. So after 60,000 miles I just stuck with Amsoil and never looked back.

Even after WOT, I notice the oil temp drops faster with Amsoil.

Just my experience. Nothing against Mobil.

Default hmmm, never saw that, and I'm on my second Amsoil run. I think the only thing

I've seen is that it "seems" to take the car longer to warm up, but since I went from 0w to 5w, that kinda makes sense.

what are your oil temps now?
