Just curious if anyone has used this oil in their CR engine yet? The label says its 507.00 approved and i can get it at my local NAPA.

I want to start changing the oil on my car and my in laws Jetta as my mother in law had 5-20 Valvoline put in her CR. figure some one has to look after her car properly.

Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah looking at it again, the entire label reads liqui Moly 5W-30 Top Tec 4200 Longlife III. Looks like what I may be going with.

5w 20 in a CR? :O Uh oh, get that changed now!
Oh I made sure my father in law got it out the next morning. The stupid oil change place told him they where positive that they ad drained it out and replaced it with the Amsoil 5-30 507.00 oil because their system shows two invoices, but the sticker on the car said 5-20. They would not fix it. He'll never be back there again.

That stuff has the consistency of cold diesel. I drove a company provided rental for a few months since I commute so much and remember watching the oil change at Ken Towery and being amazed how quickly it just dumped out of the bottle. I don't see how that oil protects an engine, especially when it gets around 200 degrees!
