So the VW shop that rebuilt my engine had always recommended I use straight 40 weight motor oil. I took their word for it and have used it ever since my car has been running. Now I see that no one here on the world uses it! Have I been using the wrong motor oil? Should I switch? I live in Southern California so temps hit 100+ sometimes, and this is my daily driver.

Thanks everybody for your input. Probably going to pick up some valvoline vr1 20w50 today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) i just started running this in my car, it has the correct zinc , ZPPD . there are a few studies out there comparing other important propertiesof this type of oil, for our engines and VR1 was the top rated above brad penn and joe gibbs. i have a high milage engine so i have more wear than most and i do need to have a thicker oil i think. - we will see how it goes. pw |
