Amsoil is truly awesome. Most of my cars run on Amsoil, the only exception being the Euro 500SEL - it leaks quite a bit of oil and until I repair the leak, it will just have to do with $0.66/quart oil off the Wal-Mart shelves. :p

let me know if the url works or not. Amsoil has a preferred cust program where you can save $$ if you buy a couple of cases, which a 126 can swallow quite easily. I used to run Mobil 1 15-50 in my 1988 911 but two kids swayed me towards anything UPS can deliver to my door. Amsoil scores better in the wear ball tests but I doubt it is anything you would notice in the real world. Mobil 1 is factory fill in many high end cars including Porsche, BMW M5, etc.
Porsche recently (2001) recommended all cars switch to Mobil 1 0-40. The recent trend has been towards cold pumpability the lighter weights can accomodate most efficiently.
