vs
Engine oil Motorex or ELF
Use an oil designed for a wet clutch, like this [motorex 15w50]
Pros: designed for wet clutch
Well I decided to try Motorex on my F800 GS, bought the 4T Top Speed full synthetic, in 15W50, boy I cant help it but recommend this oil, the gearbox is so smooth and silky.
Pros: smooth and silky gearbox
Vehicle:
BMW
5w40 for sure, my engine sounds happier, quieter, more sound than it did when the PO had 5w30 in it. So 5w40 is a given especially since you have a lot of Km on the clock, when it comes to the brand it really doesn't matter especially if you keep the oil change intervals reasonable.
Pros: engine sounds happier, quieter
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 12500 km
I use Elf Oil and I change mine every 5-7k miles.
Pros: oil change 5-7k miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 11200 km
I use motorex 30W in the air (or coil) side. The motorex is great stuff
Pros: great stuff
Motorex 60:1 piston and rings go 180 hours with out issue, could go longer but i change it every winter, powervalve has yet to need to be seriously cleaned in 3 pistons.
Pros: piston rings last long
I went with the motorex recommended oil. Worked great.
Pros: worked great
I currently use ELF Exellium NF, Motul is good too I was tempted to get it....you can also check out ECS Tuning, they sell Lubro Molly now, I think that's gonna be my next choice and I might stick with it. I've used Amsoil for about 20K miles and liked it too. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with Castrol Syntec 5w40 either, I've used it since new all the way till 60K miles.
Pros: liked it
Mileage: 32187 km
Honestly Motorex is a good oil, but it is extremely expensive for what you get. I specialize in performing Used Oil Analysis (Worked for Reliability departments for mining outfits) and it’s just a Ho Hum oil.
Pros: good oil
Cons: extremely expensive
I paid $90 bucks for a full oil change the first time, using motorex. now for my 2nd change, she's getting Rotella T6 because it's cheaper. I put on too many miles a month to shell out $90 bucks every 3k miles.
Pros: null
Cons: expensive oil change
