Summer I would run 15w40 or 20w50, winter, if you experience sub freeing
temps 15w40 or constant -20C temps 10W30

In the winter I run Castrol 10w50 and in the summer I run 15W40 Diesel oil
on my gasoline motors due to the better cleaning capabilities.

Subject: oil weights for inline 4's

What weight  oil are those of you with inline 4s running in your engines? I
have an 2 liter Audi in my van
mounted at the 54 degree angle . I have been using mobil one 15w 50 for the
last10k mi. but this stuff seems to want to leak out. I was considering
using one of the high milage oils in a 10w 50 weightbut am unsure if this is
sufficient Thanks
Dennis
