Where/How did you get that stuff.

I bought it from an online store that specializes in German parts, called Germanparts.ca (of course)

Stuff ain't cheap, though. For 2 litres it's $54 bucks Canadian is about $40 US

Maybe better for colder climates but not for AUS.

Castrol Magnatec Start-stop 5W-30 A5 every 2k Km’s. My engine will have long term health.

Anyone try the valvoline vr1 full synthetic race oil? Curious if anyone is using it on the stinger have a few friends who swear by it with high hp cars

I'm doing <meta property="og:title" content="Valvoline Modern Engine Full Synthetic Motor Oil" />, supposedly it's built for 2012 and newer GDI, Turbos prone to carbon build up, and hotter running engines, check, check, check and check.

M1 0w-20 With a few ounces of motorkote that will do it.

I wouldn't use dino juice

I took a chance on the Costco Synthetic a few weeks back and had it put in this morning. Might be just me imagining it but I feel like idle is smoother? Either way for a full synthetic change for about $40 I'm happy.

The question is who made the oil for costco??

I used to feel this same kind of boosted performance when I got brand new sneakers as a kid: felt like I could leap over the moon. And I felt all kinds of better when I changed tires last summer. New stuff works like that.

My ride will get fresh pilots mounted next spring.....I use the spoke alloys that came with her when I bought it.
in the winter i=oil changes just make me feel better period , the car always does the same........runs good.

I looked at it and my manual again - it's GF-4 which is what's needed according to the manual, so should be good. I used half of the pack for our FCA minivan, and I already had a jug of Edge 5W30, so I bought another just of that.. Next time, might just go with Costco..

I just had my first oil change done at the dealer. They included lifetime oil changes. No idea what they used.
I normally use PetroCan oils. They make high spec oils in their Duron line. Been using it in high performance motorcycles for 16 years. Cheap compared to boutique oils.

They probably put in TOTAL Quartz INEO Synthetic oil. That is what the factory calls to use. I actually completed an oil change a couple of weeks ago with this stuff. My car did feel faster, so I busted out the Dragy to test; I was 0.2 seconds faster than with the previous oil!

According to the always accurate internet it's Warren. I'm not aware of that brand but their specs check out so I'm happy. Plus I tend to be one of those 3ish thousand mile changers so I'm less worried.
