Mann filters for sure. The synthetic oil... Well that's up for debate here on.. I prefer Mogul myself

[LINDW4LL]

You'll find many different answers for oil, mostly because almost any oil of appropriate weight will work well.


I'll suggest Rotella T6.

Awesome! Mann filters it is and i was looking at motul brand. I recently used mobile 1 0w-40, should i stick with 0w-40 or use 5w-40 during warmer season?

I run Amsoil 5w40 year round, and will never look back......

That said there are many great oils, I hear good things about Rotella T6, Motul, and a few others. I only say Amsoil because thats what I have used in everything, with great results. A little spendy, but it's a proven top fully synthetic oil

Rotella T6 ftw

Okay i'll look into that! Thank you. And is it smart to just stick with 5w40 year round or switch to 0w40 when it's cold out?

You'll be fine with 5w40 all year. People do that for a tad less resistance to squeeze every ounce of power they can, and to get oil moving faster when cold. I just stick to whats recommended, 5w40

OIL WAR!!!

The one in special. I used rotella T6, Castrol edge SPT 0-40, mobil 1. I have no problems with the castrol, and it's cheaper than the rotella when in special.
Mann filter are good, i think, i never used anything else.

I just switched to distilled water water and my car has been running so much better. I'd consider the switch if I was you.

Well install bald tires and it will get you additional 100 awhp

[derrek]

why would you want bald tires

[vce1232000]

why would you want bald tires

Because they are lighter and they have more contact area to the pavement.

maybe if they'd last long, I'm all about longevity.

Lol. I've seen some very impressive results from Blackstone with T6. Can't dig them up now on the mobile but their out there. Plus...

Amsoil $40~ (5 qt) < Rotella T6 $21~ (1 gal)

I mean... is this still up for debate? :p

[Hugh@EuropaParts]

I would certainly recommend any of the oils we carry... I personally run Motul Specific in my B7...

Mann filter, NGK bkr7e plugs both from advance auto using s coupon code and free in store pickup. Shell rotella t6 oil from Walmart. All that every 5k miles for under 50$ and no wait or shipping costs

[Luis_Heineken]

but rotella t6 are for diesel engines, right?

[SwiftA4]

Yep, but it has been proven to do very well in gasoline engines as well. There has been nothing but positive reviews all over the web about using it in gas engines. A lot of people have sent in oil samples and they've always come back very good.

I'm switching over next change. Can't really beat the price either.

Mobil 1 0w40 European Formula and Mobil 1 filter is what I have been running... not that you will really notice any difference with oil really, just always been a Mobil 1 guy

[chris@fifteen52]

OEM type filter and Mobil 1 0W-40, but what do I know mine only has 201k miles on it mostly all from me ;)
