[tanalasta]

Motul 8100 or Mobil-1 Gold 10-30W

I've used both. Personally prefer the Mobil 1.

Yeah, it's pretty much the best for a street engine. It's an ester-based oil, a step above the full synthetic of Mobil1, Castrol Edge 0w-40, Motul 8100 and Shell Helix Ultra. it's $95-100 for 4L. You need 4.5L

so 2 bottles to drain and stuff? sweet but 2 bottles, bit pricey for just engine oil

At that price you'd only use that oil for a turbo engined car and even then you'd leave it in for 10k.

It's always better to change your oil often than to use an expensive oil and change after a longer interval. So unless your engine has very high compression and you're running at close to 10,000rpm, you're better off getting Castrol Edge 5w-30 for $45 and changing twice as often.

Street driven means normal car laa

A track Euro/TSX looks like this:

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.
