Hello everyone,
I know there has been many threads about which oil and everyones opinions. I am at 43k right now and plan to do an oil change at 45k. Yes i am still under warranty. The only oil my dealer carries is still the oil Castrol TXT 505.01. I am aware that oil is not even full Syth...I have looked at putting Motul 100% Syth 505.01 in it next, i havent read to much on it or seen a ton of information. What are everyones opinions on using a 506.01 or a 507 oil in it? Has there not been letters approving it for my engine under warranty? Here is the real question i have....Mobil 1 TDT 5W40...Seems to be the flat out non warranty option does it not? I am under warranty on my powertrain till next september (2011) or 60k. Which will be about the same time on my driving schedule. Is it not worth the risk of using TDT and then something happening which would not be the oil's fault and then they blame it? I am really at a lost of what oil to use that will help protect the cam the most while hopefully retaining my warranty i seem to be using more and more lately.
What is the best warranty oil for my 1.9l PD BRM? 505.01, 506.01, 507?
Best overall oil warranty or not based on OA? Worth voiding warranty?
Thanks,
Justin
