well I use whatever the Euroblend is from AMSOIL and it works jus fine in my 12v.


I'm gonna go Igloo for the best cooler for the A4, but I'm not totally sure what you are trying to ask there

Theres really not that much of a difference, either one will be good for your car. I use to run the 5w40 euro formula without problems. Amsoil is too expensive and hard to find around here so I switched to valvoline 5w30, works just the same.

I get AMSOIL at wholesale price so for me it's cheaper than Mobil 1
