Steve, no thoughts as of now about fluids as my S5 project is so new, I actually
haven't seen my car yet (my uncle bought it for me in Kentucky, where it sits
750 miles away!). However, I would like to piggyback a question onto yours, if
I may: What is the consensus about using Mobil 1 or other syn oils in the
engine and gearbox? Anyone try it? Might it help the #s 2 and 3 pistons?
Thanks, Bill
