I have tried most oils over the past few years, and the main conclusions that I have come to:

1. Stick to the grade specified by the manufacturer, if still in warranty.

2. Get the dealer to put in any non spec oil.

3. I prefer to use fully synthetic oil in turbo cars.

4. I don't like long service intervals - my oil and filter are changed every 5000 miles/6 months.
