Yeah, I was concerned about the impact it'll have with sludges. Cheaper isn't always better when it comes to Audi's and other Euro cars. Am I right or what.

Personally, I don't subscribe to the whole "I have to buy the most expensive products for my car, because they're better" mentality. I get the products that match the specs called for, offered at the cheapest price. Oil Viscosity would be one of those specs.

That's what I'm talking about. Nothing more, nothing less. Also CCA4, generally, how much do parts sell for? Idid more research and I wanted to have some sort of a base just to go off of.
