wow, straight from the source! Thank you very much.

Sorry, when I brake at 40-50mpg I get a slight pulsation. I do like buying US, but i typically wont go out of my way to do it. I just want to buy a set of rotors I wont have to mess. if it costs a little more, thats fine, but if a rotor is a rotor then then Wearever, Duralast it is. I do plan...

M1 0-40 it is. Should I expect any noticeable difference in idle/performance/consumption between GC 0-30 and M1 0-40?

I didnt want to hijack the other Audi thread, but I do have a somewhat similar question. Ive searched around and learned alot about Castrol, Syntec, Edge and GC. Ive been running GC in my 08 Audi A4 for the last two years at 5k OCI but its becoming harder and harder to find. Edge w Syntec is...
