Hi,
I would like to know if it's a good oil for my car. I have a 95 Jetta with a 2.0L 8v.
My mechanic sold this product ( I think it is Lubro-moly Vollsynthese 5W40) and he told me it's the best??
What to you think?? I need some info?
Thank you

It's good that the Lubro-Moly is as good as the Mobil 1 0W-40 because I can't find this grade of Mobil 1 in my area. I can buy Delvac 1 but they only have 4L jug and I need 4.5L, so I have to buy 2 jug at 35 $can each.

How many synthetics do you know with a flash point of 379.4 F ?? and this viscosity index i am sure it belongs to a mineral oil.. well....to a very bad mineral oil.. Actually the Aral's 5W40 that i am not sure whether is a PAO based or not has a viscosity index of 190...
