Mobil 1 Super Synth
Man, I cannot believe the difference in operating temps between the higher mileage formula and the new Super Syn blend. I have always used Mobil 1 syn in my wifes GTI VR6 since I started doing the oil changes a few years ago, and the operating temp has always been about 212 degrees. Well today I changed it at it's usual 4000 mile interval (only because my wife forgets to look at the trip that I have it set on so she doesn't forget oil changes and she still forgets) and took it for a hard little drive. To my surprise, after a few miles with a few 5000 rpm shifts(yes I was speeding) the oil temp only got up to 190 degrees and when I sat idling in front of the house it dropped to 185. All I have to say is COOL.
