Here's a piece from Forced Performance regarding their built engines being driven daily and their findings on oil.

"It is amazing how many drivers, even at the Formula One Level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down." -- Mario Andretti
So I was at the dealership the other day just asking the service adviser how much an oil change costs for an MS3 and he quoted me what I always paid for a normal 3 so I asked him about using synthetic and he told me NOT to use it. He said to keep using the semi-synthetic until later on in the cars life, 20,000kms+ to be exact. Kinda threw me for a loop because I thought everyone seems to use full syn right from the get go. Any truth to this and is there any downside to using full syn right from the start?
I have to do an oil change soon...I dont know what brand to go with??!! I was told 5W-40 which I plan to go with but I was told that "Mobile 1 was the only true synthetic motor oil"...please send me your recommendations otherwise I'm going to be a sucker for this statement (or Castrol)
A bunch of us are running Shell Rotella T6 5w-40, it's a diesel engine oil, but works well with our cars. CT sells it in the big jugs and you'll need just over one.......so buy at least two.

I wrote down a few of the preferred oils for the MS3. These are all taken from recommendation by members.
Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30/40
Rotella T6 5W-40
Mannheim Full Synthetic 5W-40
Pennzoil Ultra Synthetic 5W-30
Amsoil 5W-30/40
German Castrol 0W-30
If you go with Rotella, you can have my second jug. I used the tiniest bit from it and will be switching oils.
Race spec oil.
It's a toss up between Joe Gibbs, Amsoil Dominator or Motul 300v.
Can't wait to see your finished product!
I'm using it right now, so far no smoking turbo, runs smooth~
Just did an oil change last night "Amsoil" 5W-30... I switched to Amsoil a few years ago in my bike R6 (sold ) and My integra when I had it. You can just feel the difference in how much better the car performs and how much smoother it feels.
I recommend Amsoil to everyone and will only be using Amsoil in my speed.
Do not forget Castrol Edge 5W/30 Celestspeed had an oil analysis done and it was awesome!!!! At 3,000km was still great only slightly below grade and measurable fuel dillution!! Also VW uses this as standard I their newer cars with a 12mth/20,000km service!! My father has a 2.5 2011 jetta he won't do mileage but time yes, just to see how the oil performed!
I just came back from the mechaninc put in the Shell Rotella 5W-40 and the car feels like its come to life again! I was told by my mechanic that the Amsoil was one of the first to release the "synthetic" motor oil. does anyone know if this is true? (he said he personally is not a fan of the Shell, but that didnt influence me, I went with the Rotella for this change)
Just a heads up, Shell Rotella T 5W-40 is coming up on sale at CDN Tire, starting November 4th.
