I have only had MY99 turbo just under 3 weeks now, and this afternoon it felt like a totally different motor - the way I had always hoped it would feel!!

I filled it up with SUL on the last 2 stops and it finally kicked in this afternoon. It felt so smooth accelerating lower down the revs and their was a definitely a bit more torque as well!! I am never going back to NUL no matter how much extra it costs me..

PS. How often do people need to top up their engine oil on normal road driving? Mine is already looking low and I will be getting hold of 10w/50 Silkolene Pro S tonight.

How true man,

I've had my scoobie for around six months now, I only started using the super after about three months.

WOW - What a difference. My scooby broke the bank when I brought it. I feel that the SUL is also an additional expense, but well worth it...

Look around on Internet sites when looking for oil, can get some cheap deals.

My MY00 never uses any oil between services. By careful as you shouldn't fill them to the top mark, and it doesn't need much to get it from the bottom mark up to the top. It's very easy to think 'Christ it's nearly empty' and pour a bucket full in . Add a bit at a time and you'll be suprised what movment you get on the dipstick.
