redline 5w30 synthetic $11-12 per litre suitable for 2012 euro?

[tron07]

So my next service at 10000km I should be safe to use synthetic?
Do I need to put a special request to the service dept to do a proper oil flush or thats a common thing that they do?

dont rush into fully synthetics... 10k or 20k is fine.

yeah fred the 48 quarts is alot, i intend to change regularly ie 5 thousand kms (a bit of a waste yeah but at this price it doesnt really matter haha). And im punting on the fact that oil rarely goes off. Apparently it goes milky when this happens (over time water can absorb through container). It can last 15 years and longer without an issue. Im working on around 5 years supply.

I just purchased another lot of 12 quart redline.. It should cover me for the next two/three years..
Now I'm confused...
Is it ok to start using synthetic on my 10k service which is due in July?

People scared of switching because they are afraid it would go into old seals etc and leak.

A farking new car has not old gaskets to leak from....

USDM Euros come with 0w-20 synthetic oil from factory/dealer new.
