    Got six 4.73L bottles at $24.88 each, enough for 5 oil changes... 1 oil change used last weekend when Jimmy changed the factory oil/filter out (used the OEM spin on filter), next one in about 6k - 7k.

    Just switched over to Pennzoil Platinum, as I could not find Ultra near me. Im already noticing the thing runs smoother than it did before. Not massively so, but certainly noticeable. Go team!

    That's probably because you just did an oil change. Lol.

    Tokay, I hear you, but what's the difference between a brand new 2010 MS3 with 35 km and on it, or a month old 2010 MS3 with 2200 km on it? Not much. So it's not so much that it was an oil change in general as it was an oil change to synthetic oil.

    As your car breaks in and with every oil change it will get smoother. Up to about 35000km

    Minor power increase, nothing to write home to Mom about...and could just be my imagination. I mostly notice that it runs smoother than it ever has, even when I drove it off the lot with 35KM on the ODO.

    It's only gonna get smoother. A brand new car is usually at it's roughest.

    I swapped out the factory fill at 750km, and have used Castrol Edge 5w-30 on 4000km OCI. My cars been running great and Edge seems to be the next big hit at BISTOG. My car has 20,000km on it now and no issues so far (I might even be the highest mileage 2010 MS3 but I can't confirm that)

    I've just received my first oil replacement on my recent purchase of a used MS3. So is it suggested that I not have the dealer use their semi-synthetic brand and bring in my own oil. So what's the consensus on the best oil for our MS3s?

    General Consensus are the following oils perform best in the DISI, listed in no specific order:

    1) Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30/40
    2) Amsoil 5W-30/40
    3) German Castrol 0W-30

    I'm sure many synthetic oils work well also, but these are the three oils most members run, have had anayzed and comment about.

    Sounds good, thanks. I've read that Pennzoil's new Ultra synthetic oil is now out in Canada. Maybe I'll give that a try on my next oil change.

    I believe the Amsoil is the Best as they were the actual first synthetic motor oil to meet API service requirements in 1972!! with BTOG forums amsoil out performs in the samples listed, that being said the Shell Rotella is another very strong oil that out performs, as well as Total oil. Shell Helix is listed O.E.M for Ferrari. But at the end of the day it would be about price and quality and availability. That's why I use Amsoil as a preferred dealer you get wholesale prices and high quality oil and related products and with many dealers you can pick up almost anywhere or directly from there warehouse Tomken and Courtney park,(south of Courtney Prk dr)in Mississauga.

    When my membership ends with Amsoil I will seriously look at the Total oil proffered dealer as I have used this in my TDi with my dealer hook up to get in. I have done Oil analysis on Total Quartz 5w/30 with Force one additive after 6mths and 5,000km,(May,2010-Nov,2010) short trip city driving oil severity at 0, TBN at 4.6(VS 7.4 new),Vis at 100c is 11.8 (vs 12.13 new) so with the TBN being lower at cold startup we figured under current conditions to do 1yr interval with oil being changed prior to colder weather to insure maximum protection in cold months as when warmer mths come this will not be an issue with aging oil.

    My 2010 Speed has 37,000km

    Amsoil comes in quarts which is 946ml you can buy single by the case/12 or 3.78L bottles which is 4 quarts or 113L /208L drums but for most ppl the case of 12 or the 3.78L bottle would be fine. A case of Amsoil XL which I found to be the best bang for the buck retails out at $96/12 plus tax which is $8 a bottle way cheaper than buying at Canadian Tire or elsewhere! Also the 15,000mile synthetic oil filter list out at $19 so u get 2 changes on one filter. But pay your member fees and you can get cheaper!

    cross-posted in the informal ms3 chat thread:

    here's some Virgin Oil Analysis of Motul 300V 5w40 and Shell Rotella T6 5w40:

    Motul 300V


    Rotella T6


    300V's biggest difference over T6 is the high concentration of molybdenum, which reduces friction within the engine....which is also why 300V "unlocks horsepower" as there is less internal friction within the engine.

    however, one is $150 in oil for an oil change, the other about $50 in oil
