I have just got the car a week ago. It's very responsive and kind of has too much torque for the FWD version. Totally satisfied with the engine power, I just want it to last longer. Main concern is the wet clutch DCT which already has had a recall (236), but this one shift super smooth, no complaints.Fredxt, if u don't mind could you share your experience with SmartStream engine? How does it feel?

Based on a strictly "price point" there are much better value proposition oils that are not AutoZone only location specific.
I had to try it, but the price alone is too much of a turn off for me, even if it is a A+++++ oil over $50 for 6 qts of oil is excessive.
True. I have used them for 6k, but I bought a case of them last year and decided to replace it, just because.That filter could go 2.5 X 4 and still be usable beyond that.

Out:
Valvoline Maxlife 150k 5w30 and 1 qt HPC EC30 with 3,000 mi on it. Filter was unknown, and had significant waviness.
In:
4.4 qt Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20

Engine runs smoother while startup and running noise was reduced. Interesting.
