So I went to get my first oil change done hitting just about 2,000 miles at the shop. The shop I went to had Mobil 1 Synthetic and Amsoil European Synthetic Blend 5W-30. They told me Amsoil was a better oil and they put it in high end Porsches, BMW's, etc. Mind you I'm not an oil expert but I figured the Amsoil is better and I've heard fairly good things about them but now I'm concerned that this specific blend and grade is not optimal for our VQ engines being the European formula.
Here's the link to the
Amsoil put in my car.
Reason I say this since I've gotten my oil change I've noticed my oil temps have increased about a good 20 degrees than it was before the oil change. It has hit and been near 220 degrees which I've never seen in this cold 30-40 degree weather in NY. Also I am not beating the car or even redlining it. I am just doing casual driving in Auto mode. I am seriously considering changing this ASAP. I was reading about it and it says its recommend for European cars, Diesel, and turbo engines. Also I read it's a low SAPS oil. Please any advise would help, am I paranoid or should I get this stuff out of my car before it does any damage or causes knocking issues. Thank you
