First things first, I searched for this already, and all I could find were some threads about Mike Rowe in the off topic section. Also, I have a keyboard layout that doesn't allow for the addition of an umlaut (the two dots above a vowel) used in the German language. Now that that's out of the way, has anyone heard of this brand? Apparently, it's made in Germany, and my parts supplier recommended it as a good oil. The only thing I could really find was the company English website: Rowe Oil Obviously, they're going to say that it's great, but I'm looking to see if anyone else has used it or knows anything about it. It's mostly curiosity on my part, as I have no plans to switch oil at this time. For reference, I have been using Motul 8100xs 5w40 with good results. This would be a full synthetic 5w40 as well. Just curious, as I've never heard of it until now. Thanks.
Rowe Oil?

I've no experience of the oil but I can help here. You can either replace the umlauted vowel with an e-suffix (ie, ö becomes oe, ä becomes ae etc - "Nuerburgring") or you can use Unicode codes to insert the umlauted vowel. I use a UK English keyboard with no diacritics but can easily add 'foreign' characters (Nürburgring). Assuming you are using Windows, to enter ä hold down the 'Alt' key, type 0228 on the numerical keypad (num lock must be on), then release the 'Alt' key. This works for a range of characters, like ° (Alt 248), ½ (Alt 0189), µ (Alt 230) and so on.
Plenty of people lazily drop the umlaut, which actually changes the meaning, spelling and pronunciation of the word.
