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

ELF Engine oil

Now, I realized that the engine oil the mechanic put on when I got the camshaft replaced in november, is actually meant for cars. The oil is the ELF sporti TXI 10W40.

Vehicle: Suzuki

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

ok i just did an oil change today. i put in Elf Excellium 10W50 Full Synthetic. anyways, the difference is awesome. much more free reving and "wanting to go faster" feeling. before oil change it felt tired and revs were lazy and engine had a 'fuzzy' sound when accelerating. anyways, all is good now

Pros: much more free reving
Cons: engine felt tired

Just started using it in my '03 3.0 (90K service). Elf 0W30. Notice a substantial increase in mileage! Hate the price, though...$13.95/litre CDN! And at 6.5 litres for the change...well, you get the picture.

Pros: increase in mileage
Cons: high price
Mileage: 90000 km
