I've enjoyed great success using Mobil 20W 50 in my wbx 2.1. & all the old cars I own. Does great in the Florida heat. Have over 300M on the wbx but I can't verify the miles on the engine....have only had it for 85M, but our MBZ E320 wagon has gone over 200M since we've had it. Sure it costs more, but I only change the oil every 14M or so...filter at 7M if I remember. Anthony '89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)

If so what weights are being used? Dave |
