Engine oil VALVOLINE or MOTUL
I personally prefer MOTUL 7100 10W50.
I just did the restore and protect on my 2015 and let me tell you that it has made a massive improvement. Immediately the engine runs quieter and smoother and after 500km it’s like my engine has much more power.
I think that as a general rule you want a motorcycle specific oil in your primary because of specific additives in it for a wet motorcycle clutch. Just don't use a super slick oil like the Valvoline VR1 Racing blue sapphire stuff.
I recommend valvoline syn power mst C3 for Renault diesel engines with dpf filter. Low saps oil which will produce less carbon in your engine. I have 110hp version of 1.5dci and use this oil for last 6 years. Never had a problem and oil consumption is minimal
Valvoline is really good and proves it on tests. Available at any auto parts store... currently running it in a westinghouse 2550dfc
I run Valvoline VR1 20W-50. I believe during cooler seasons you can run a thinner (less viscous) oil.
I am currently using Motul 8100 x-clean gen2 5w-40 (good on DPF) for the last 7000km (I think) without any issues. This oil should provide better lubrication, especially if driven hard and during high temps.
I use Valvoline R&P 0w-20 and my engine sounds healthy. so does my mom’s Velar. I think whats more important is using the correct viscosity and changing it on time.
I’ve been using the 300V , absolutely love the feeling of this oil but decided to switch since it’s a true race oil & the intervals needing very frequent changes. After only 1000 miles of street riding , I’ve tested the oil & it began to sheer from 18 cst @ 100c down to 15 cst @100c .
I used Motul with ester. 15W-50 I think? It was for a 16’ Continental GT. Seemed to work fine.
