so two questions:
1) is the american 0w-30 castrol still a good synthetic?
2) has anyone done an analysis on the amsoil 0w-30? did it do as well as the castrol stuff?

^^Ok thanks Will. Recently I noticed my ccan getting a little more oil/water vaper stuff than usual. Was using Motul 8100 before, but after reading through the UOA thread, I changed to Mobil1 0w40. I'll look into the turbo diesel, though, and a local shop has Amsoil, so I might try that too.
I haven't noticed any substantial oil consumption issues when checking oil levels b/w changes, however, but I will be looking to get a compression check, etc. before going F/I.

I made an update here.

I still have no clue as to why that happened. Hopefully someone can shed some light.

i've been using Mobil 1 5w-30 for the past 10,000km's and i love it. . .the G loves it as well, doesn't burn up a single drop of oil and it's still clean as the day it was dropped in. Just passed 60k km's on it and drove up to Yellowknife, N.W.T., drove back down and entered in 3 drift competitions . . .
I used Royal Purple before this (same weight) and it used up a little oil. . .
I'll be doing an oil sample/particle test this oil change and share the results. . .

For those interested, I also just changed over to M1 Euro 0W-40. Walmart sells this for a tad under 6 bucks, autozone sells it for a tad over. I've only found it in quart size.
