Syntec? Not bad.

I've been using Syntec 5w-50 in my Audi's for years, great stuff. I recently filled up the 81 928 with it since I plan on driving it off / on in the winter - salty roads permitting.

Got Syntec in my car for the first time; so far so good.

5w-50 is what we use in our formula engines. Amazing engine life-time under race enviroment, but we did no back-to-back test vs any other oil.

Needless to say I'm using it in the 928, too.

I find 5w-50 all the time

Syntec is held in high regard.
Used 5-50 syn in my 911 turbo for years.

5w-50 = Sold!! Out here in rural Kansas - not even 5w-40, 0w-40. found a place that could order Valvoline syn. 5w-40. Next trip into the city i'm looking for some.....

Thanks

The more I think about it, not sure why I switch to 15w-50 in the summer when my non-Porsche cars run 5w-50 all year. Will be a lot easier to buy oil if every car is using the same weight.

Hell, I should look into a 50 gallon drum for my garage!

Considering I'll go through 10 gallons the first month of spring changing the oil on everything.....

Out here in rural Alberta I find Syntec at Costco; $73CDN for 12 litres.

Costco??? - nearest one in Denver - 300 miles.........

Nearest one to us is 300km round trip..............the price you pay for living away from the mad houses.

FCSFrank

agreed..........
