engine life
there are many compelling reasons to use only synthetic
oils
ACEA A3 B3 A3 B4
or better for all engines in the viscosity range the engine was designed for
while Fuel Economy may improve marginally it is not the primary reason to use the absolute best oils available for your particular application
engine life is
cat converter life is
particulate filter life is (in diesel engines)
with proper service intervals
the more expensive correct oils are cheaper to use , your engine service life and cat converter service life will be hugely improved over dogshnit oils
this is a complex subject
that evolves with new engine design and new cat converter design
study and learn at the BITOG forums
never use any oil
that does not meet ACEA specifications OR minimum OEM specification for your application
for instance
today
in GM engine s dexos1 for gasoline dexos2 for diesel
in VW Audi , minimum oil specification in (most) gasoline engines
is VW 502 and Minimum in current VW Audi TDi engines is VW 507
never use dogshnit oil in any VW Audi engine that does not meet minimum
specification for the application
unless
you enjoy
pain
