Originally Posted By: Ramblejam How about this... Can you reasonably articulate as to why utilizing synthetics (we're painting with a very broad brush here, as you've lumped Red Line/Motul/Mobil 1 all together) in your 4.0L engine would result in longer engine life? It's a gut feel that I...

Originally Posted By: eljefino Gaskets aren't seals, BTW. Seals allow something rotating to pass through them, like the end of your crank. Seals have to "weep" a tiny amount of oil to keep themselves lubricated. Jeep 4.0 rear main seals do seem to leak if you look at them wrong, but syns...

Changing to Synthetics ... I love them and have run them in my Audi's for years. I started with Amsoil and it changed a 120K mile engine that was about to go, or sounded like it to a purring kitten, and got another 120K on it, that was an 88 80 quattro. My newer Audi's have had Redline, Motul...

I have a Jeep Wrangler 2003 X with about 60,000 miles. It has had conventional oil in it since the beginning. I just purchased this used and thinking of putting a good synthetic in it, Mobil 1 , Motul, Redline, Amsoil, etc. I called the Jeep dealer and asked about it and was told that if it...

Thoughts on adding their additives to the oil. My Audi guy says that he has used it for 4 years and considers it better than Motul, which he moved me from

I've been searching for any analysis and or comparisons on BG Synthetic oils. I'm a Motul fan, but my Audi dealer is pushing the BG stuff saying it's better. thanks

Buster, your statment about the RL is confusing. Do you mean that RL is ok in some german made engines but not this one ?

thanks, their specs are 5w-40 or 5w-30 with VW 502 specs. I think that both meet the requirements.

I was wondering about the oil guru's opinions here regarding the best oil to put into an Audi A4 2005.5 2.0T. I was looking at Amsoil Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil or Redline 5W40 ... perhaps some other recommendations

I have a 2000 S4 it's a biturbo 2.7

Thanks Christopher.. I realize that everyone has there opinions and prefer something different than the next guy. Do you have any evidence or experiences to back up you recommendations. I appreciate. thanks

I have read this forum for awhile now and there are so many different opinions about oils. I'm amazed that there isn't some sort of ranking process by now. Here's my problem/question. I have an Audi S4 and have narrowed down my selections to Amsoil and Redline. But I can't decide on 5w-40w or...

Thanks PaJohn.. was the Amsoil you used the racing oil? take care

I was wondering what weights on the synthetic you'd recommend for the S4. The manual say 10-40. thanks

The mechanic that was dissing Amsoil was stating that the twin turbos on the S4 would likely get damaged quicker with Amsoil as opposed to Redline.

Thanks all for the replies. All of them very useful. Pscholte, is the Castrol SLX a synthetic and is it easy to get over here? Also is there any reviews on it on this site you know of? What do others think, Amsoil, Redline, Castrol SLX ? thanks, i'm learning Nev
