    Original Oil

    I read the oil sticky, but didn't find what I was after. Was a 1995 s6 originally filled with Dino or synthetic engine oil? I don't know if the country of origin would mater but it is a US model. Thanks.

    Dino

    Brontosaurus to be exact (higher vegetable oil content).

      That is what I figured, thanks.

        IF I remember tomorrow, I can scan the page from the UrS4 or UrS6 owners manual that shows the recommended oil weights, etc. e.g. 20W50, etc.

          I have that info, I am just debating on what to put in my motor. It has 170k on it, but I have no idea what kind of oil has been used in it before. I was hoping they came with synthetic actually.

            Lots of people run synthetic in the AAN. You could too. Just be prepared for the old dino-oil soaked seals to start weeping and leaking.

              I've heard that and that some people believe that switching has actually killed their motors. However I think the extra thermal stability of a synthetic is a great idea for how the car will operate. You run the crap out of it for a minute at a time with idling for a cool down, in between runs. I bet its been on synthetic for while already.
