ok after doing my research i found that mobil one is alot better for your car then this GERMAN GC oil...i took my car to the track and ran it after a few runs my lifters started making alot of noise, they were getting sticky ..this was with the GC oil!!!! i found that the german oil GC has 11.9 NOACK value, when mobil 1 has 9.3 NOACK value!! do not be fooled by the german GC! noack means burning at high temps and becoming gumpy ect....good luck i will no longer be using GC!!!!!!!!!!
however ams oil has a noack value of 5.4 witch is the absolute best you be the judge
PS i have a turbo car so my car burns really hoT!!

ChocoTaco369, I've been reading your posts for a while and you seem to make more logical sense than most others. So, this weekend I decided to change out the 0w40 Mobil 1 to GC 0w30. I understand that it is suppose to be protecting better, but the lifter ticking noise is WAAAAY louder now. In fact, even after the car is up to temperature you can still hear the tapping sounds...especially when the engine is revved up and the RPMs settle back to throttle.
I may be overreacting, but I am little concerned that there is so much more clatter now.
