I have been using LubroMoly Vollsynthese 5-40 and it has done very well. I will be doing another UOA on this change. 96K miles on an '05 with no leaks, no consumption, and very little start-up noise.

just my $0.02.

Hmm... I noticed that Mobil 1 comes in a 0-40W grade . I may stick with it after all ??

S&B,

Do you bring your 986 to them for service? I was just curious as I've heard a couple of negative things about them from people I work with (who don't know anything about cars), so I'd like an opinion from someone who is a real "car-person". Thx.

Regards,
paul...
