Last change , used Motul 8100 0W - 20 Full synthetic
Motul 8100 X Clean 5W30, used by reputable specialist Mini garages here in the UK and is in my 2018 JCW.
For such a climate as Mexico I'd stay away from 0w-20 and go at least to 0w-30 or 5w-30, last one being the OEM afaik.
Tbf my specialized mechanic put 5w-40 LL-04 Motul in mine for years and it's been blissful.
Motul gamit ko ramdam ko ang arangkada at tahimik makina.
Shell Advance Scooter naman d ko ramdam yung arangkada nya kasi medyo may delay at ambilis mag bawas ng langis. Unlike sa motul na low oil consumption lang sya d sya ganun kalakas mag bawas ng langis.
The one that seems to have made the greatest difference (non-tracking) is the one referenced below in either 5w50, 5w40, or the two of them mixed together. Per the relevant gauges, the 996 runs a bit cooler and the viscosity (via oil pressure readings across running temperatures and times) stays higher.
I like the Lucas ones personally.
OEM oil is made by cheapest bidder who was able to fill the minimum requirements by the already cheapskate GM.
my 2 cents - use MOTUL DEXOS 2 SPECIFIC. Or some other premium oil. Oil is the most important fluid your car has. Cheaping out on it just stupid.
My car at 150k extensively used Shell 10w60, and I switched it to Motul 10w60 cause it was the easiest to get for me.
I just use Kawasaki mineral oil or the Honda/Yamaha similar. Never had issues. Tried motul, liked the smell, same performance, more expensive, no point for me.
I use the Motul 8100 5w30 normally , just recently tried the 5w40 but I’m about to change it back.
Car feels slugish with the thicker oil.
I don’t like that ????????♂️
