My lazy move is skipping 5th gear. I go from 4th to 6th. So I think that's kinda like lugging..

p.s.
There's a case of RP 5W40 sitting at a local NAPA dealer. They're wanting like $12 a quart. I don't mind the price but Castrol Syntec is like half the price. Is it really twice as good? I've seen the load machine tests but I'm not sure how real world they are. And of the dozens of oils that Porsche has tested and recommeded why isn't RP in there? Is it purely business?
