I live by the stuff...

I swapped it into my Pinzgauer engine and picked up a notable difference in MPG.. And thats a big ole military truck with an aircooled engine turning 34" tall tires...

I have 8K on the curent oil change in the 912E, that oil still has another 10-12K left in it before another change.. I have went over 20K with that engine on one change already and it just turned 94K miles in less than 4 years!

Nothing has yielded better oil temps so far- it kicks the shit out of Mobil 1!
