Ya but I'm hard to ignore Mark T! not like a pegger to ignore a westcoaster!



I did the search first and do get your point ... but each time is is brought up you also get an updated version of the" fluid topic " of current oil of choice.

I just found out from Ontario Brad that his Porsche dealer has made the switch to Castrol!! and Frodo with his info on 10 40!

I do understand the veterans have done the" tire and oil " question to death... but i do appreciate a fresh discussion.

I appreciate all that responded.

Cheers.

I hate to change anything - Mobil 1 Synthetic 0w40 done by me and previous owner.
My IMS says it likes consistency.....so far so good. Hengst oil filters. IMS Guardian is on guard for me!

A civil and lighthearted retort to constructive (+/-) criticism! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Yep, and he said he did a search, and provided valid reasons for asking the question, so I'm good.

I've been using Castrol Syntech (now Edge) 5w40 for several years now and I'm happy with it. Much less start-up clatter than I had with Mobil1 0w40, which I only used for the first year.

Also, Can-Ti has the Castrol Edge on sale from time to time, but I never see Mobil1 on sale. It's actually on sale this week, $29.99 for a 5 litre jug.

my post title was done somewhat tongue and cheek

Remember as a noobie you can only contribute so much ... and I wanted to reach-out and make some new 986 contacts.


hopefully I have succeeded.
