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.
As soon as my warranty is up on my SQ5 in November, I'll be going to Rowe Hitech Synth RS 5w-40. One of the very few true synthetic PAOs out there and on par with LiquiMoly pricing (USP Sells it w/free shipping).
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.
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 changed the oil in my MK7 GTI (around 300hp) with MOTUL X-cess (5w40) and my god did it ever make a difference!
Not really . My tuner (jackal motorsports) recommends Rowe RS synthetic oil . Currently using LM molygen , it's ok but apparentlyThe RS is the best stuff
8100 X-Clean EFE is what I ran, but yeah, it doesn't really matter
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 ????????♂️
