i'm using Fuchs, 10w30 seems pretty good so far, and Its under $40 a bottle (5l), it supose to be full synthetic, but dunno if its a true or a hyrdo cracked one.

From everyone i've spoken to it looks like there is a wide choice.

Mainly it pretty much like how you would normally use oil in a car.

Start with Thin oil and step up if you start to burn too much.
Check every week and see how you go.

I've used Castrol 5w30 edge, that seem to burn quite abit more than the Fuchs. The Fuchs been good so far, and this is the second oil change, with the fuchs.

Most of the other people i know use mobile 1 - 5w50, but even they get burn

P.S with turbos your always gonna burn more.

motul turbo light

2nd that. great for turbos, not full synthetic so it wont burn the oil too fast as well.

if you have a fresh motor, Ill say go motul 8100 (fully synthetic)
