OK.. you do live in Canada so temperature a factor also. But, I have read that MOTUL is a very high quality oil. Was wondering if you were going to give me a thumbs up on this oil.

Car is only summer driven. Just found it a PITA to source the Motul, the Castrol can be found at any local Canadian Tire. Spend a lot of time on BITOG, and the Castrol is highly regarded. Motul now also offers a 0W40 that looks interesting.

The Motul (0W40 or 5W40) are both very good oils.

Ok, thanks

My Indy shop uses TOTAL and MOTUL exclusively.
The shop is German imports only... BMW, AUDI... etc.
