What weight oil are those of you with inline 4s running in your engines? I have an 2 liter Audi in my van mounted at the 54 degree angle . I have been using mobil one 15w 50 for the last10k mi. but this stuff seems to want to leak out. I was considering using one of the high milage oils in a 10w 50 weightbut am unsure if this is sufficient Thanks Dennis _________________________________________________________________ Get MSN 8 Dial-up Internet Service FREE for one month.
