    Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40, 19,992mi, '11 Audi A4 2.0T CAEB

    Originally Posted by dustyroads That's very impressive. A decent amount of make-up oil but still.... What's the oil capacity in that engine? That was our thoughts! If it was any other 2.0T driven normally it would still be an excellent UOA, but factoring in how aggressively this customer...

    Suitable oil for Air-Cooled Porsche(Especially 964,993)

    Originally Posted by George Bynum This confuses me; higher viscosity, higher pumping losses, more energy into the oil, more rapid temperature rise. At least that is the situation with hydraulics. Can you explain why motor oil behaves the opposite way? More oil heat is generated by contact with...

    Suitable oil for Air-Cooled Porsche(Especially 964,993)

    I have a 964 as well as running a shop that services air-cooled 911s. I currently run Motul 300V Power 5W40 in mine, but used to use Valvoline VR1 20W50 and recommend that for customers 911s. Mine is a pre-June '91 build, so it has the infamous head gasket weeping since the o-ring update was...

    Motul 8100 Xcess 5W40, 5,821mi, '12 VW Golf R CRZA

    Bad shifting with Rotella T4 15w-40.. hotter temps

    I'd give the T6 5W40 a shot. I don't have any UOA's for motorcycles, but the ones I do have for regular gas and diesel engines the shear stability has been satisfactory. Apples to apples, i've seen better stability and less wear with the T6, but then again I don't exactly have a load of data on...
