Why is there often a distinction between European and non-Euro oils?
Why would two seemingly similar engines (in my case, a former VW/Audi 2.0T DI and a Hyundai/Kia 2.0T DI) have different oil needs? Obviously there are differences in design details, but both would appear to put the same stress on their lubricant in similar vehicles when driven similarly.
I'm only asking this in one forum, since many of the BITOG seniors contribute to both forums.
