The 5w30 or 0w30 is perfectly fine. Since I live in the US Midwest I’m going to start just running 0w30 liqui moly year round
I use liqui moly Toptec 4100 because in India, spec for 2.0 TDI is 5W40 and we do not have DPF so VW505 oil is recommended which Toptec 4100 conforms to .
Decided it would be a good idea to change oil to Liqui Moly since the car is trying to be kept going for another 10 or more years . Main dealer was their standard 0W-30 , but i am going to 5W-30 top tech 4200 . Cars manual said its fine spec and originally had 5W-30 day one .
R60, I use liqui moly 5w-40. 0w-40 is good too. Flows better at start up. Same viscosity at operating temp.
My mechanic (Gigamot - MINI specialists) here in Germany recommended and swears by 5W40 for my R56s.
I have been using it for 3 years on all 5 MINIs.
No issues, summer or winter.
I just purchased a LR3 with the V8 4.4 and what a beast! I am close to my first oil change and I am thinking of using Liqui Moly Special Tec 5W-30. I used Liqui Moly for my previous car and it was great.
But if you want extra protection, go for the 10W40 from LiquiMolly, which cotains molibdenum dissulfide, a powerful powder type lubricant which adheres to moving parts.
Valvoline MaxLife 10W40. Made specifically for older engines with high mileage.
I got a 1.5dci kangoo - and I kept seeing RN720 5w-30. So ordered liqui moly top tech 4400 5w-30 as that was specific to renaults.
Have to flush out the old oil as its been sitting for a year (using liqui moly engine flush) and will see how the new oil runs.
US manual states 507 can be used, but you might get worse fuel economy... Mine is about 0.3 mpg lower on liquimoly toptec 4200 5w-3p
