Yeah i use Castrol edge 5w30(i get it for $44)i change it every 5k.i do it myself between 10k services.
I used to use Motul Chrono 300V, very good oil! But expensive :D
Wahhh overkill for a street-driven Euro.Quote:

Still, you would want that extra peace of mind if you track your car. You know, the oil goes really black just after one track day.
