I've enjoyed great success using Mobil 20W 50 in my wbx 2.1. & all the old cars I own.� Does great in the Florida heat.� Have over 300M on the wbx but I can't verify the miles on the engine....have only had it for 85M, but our MBZ E320 wagon has gone over 200M since we've had it.

Sure it costs more, but I only change the oil every 14M or so...filter at 7M if I remember.

Is there an advantage to running synthetic in a WBX 2.1 over conventional
oil? If so what weights are being used?
