turbo gdi’s...It's kind of ironic the appearance of these "new" 5-40's in the age of thin oils.

Euro cars still run on thick oils. They can actually make vehicle that has good MPG and use thick oil.It's kind of ironic the appearance of these "new" 5-40's in the age of thin oils.
aka the people going to walmart and pillage the oil section.DIYers, the kind of guys who drive 10-15 year old Euro cars. Somewhat irrelevant to new car buyers.

Interesting - so this is the same as Penzoil? I remember QS - my dad used to use it in the old cars back in the day.
Isn't ACEA A3/B4 the high saps stuff? They may not have a C3 offering. Seems like the mid saps formulas are a rarer breed.
I know. I have 2 of them. It's that the trend is thin, thinner, and thinnest these days. And the new MB 4 cylinders require thin oil. I wonder what the AMG engines recommend?Euro cars still run on thick oils. They can actually make vehicle that has good MPG and use thick oil.
You would think the reverse would apply, as these cars all have cats on them. I don’t get it.Mid saps 5w40 is quite rare. VW just came out with a new spec called 511 which fits this criteria. 504 is very similar oil though even though it is 30 grade, it still requires 3.5 HTHS.

They don't. MB gives you option to run MB229.51, MB229.61 and MB229.71. Actually, as far as I know, they are very specific which oil you can use do get results you want.I know. I have 2 of them.
