I really like Motul. Used to use 300v it got expensive changing it so much. 7100 has a longer oil change interval and for all intents and purposes is just as good as 300v for street use
Motul 7100 seems to do the trick. Great for city riding and long trips, moderately high revs in the hills, etc.
Motul 5w40 X-cess, suggested by multiple reputable indies.
I use Motul classic 20W-50 in all of mine, or some generic 20W-50 oil if I can't find it. If I'm not incorrect the classic has some additives to help with not seeping out of the engine but other than that won't do anything special.
I see a lot of people recommending lighter oils but living in a warm climate this is what works for me.
Motul Xclean EFE 5w30, Xclean gen2 5w40
That said, I use Motul 0W20 in the winter and 5W30 in the summer.
I send an oil sample to Blackstone Labs every single time I change the oil or the dealer changes the oil. As part of that analysis, I pay the few extra bucks for a TBN calculation. On my SQ5 and S3, after running a fill for 10k to 12k, those TBN values always come back greater than 1.0 indicating that there’s still enough remaining additives to continue running that fill for even more miles still.
I just run Motul. 7100/7200 or the 300v.
Years ago I went down the oil rabbit hole and now I recommend motul 7100 4T
I used to run Motul 800, but switched to 710 now. 800 has a higher flash point for high rpm racing, and I was getting carbon buildup from not running the bike hard enough.
