Hi mate and welcome to the forums. At the top of this forum there is a FAQ section where you will find a lot of great info for the Aurion. Also there is a search bar at the top right hand side that is useful for checking if a specific topic that you need help with has been discussed before and might contain the answers you need. Good luck and enjoy your ride :D

Changing the oil brand/type isn't really going to give you any performance gain in terms of power etc. Unless of course it had the wrong oil or a really cheap oil in it to start with... but then again, cheap oils have been shown to be just as good as the more expensive ones. Gains to be made here would run across the lines of engine longevity and possibly an increased service interval. That said, things like this are usually a personal preference and there is no single right answer.

As for why it may feel slow for you, here is an answer I prepared earlier. Just reverse the scenario because you sit higher in the Aurion:

my car feels faster lower to the ground then higher.

It's the perspective of how you see the ground. Because the ground is closer to you you, it seems like it is moving quicker.

Just like how when you are driving (or sitting passenger looking out the window) and the trees etc that are closer to the car appear to be flying by, whereas the trees etc that are further from the car seem to 'move' much slower. Basically the same idea, but in reference to the road.
