I use Mannol 5w40 extreme or elite. Including an oil filter it means that my oil changes cost 25€. That's why I change the oil every 6k kilometers or so.
Owner reviews for engine oil
Can’t go wrong with Rotella T6. It’s marketed as a diesel engine oil, but gas engines love the stuff too. It’s just not great for catalytic converters, because it contains a high amount of anti-wear and anti-friction additives.
Motul 7100 5w40 is an excellent choice, I've been using it too.
Castrol LL01 5w30 is $25 for 5 quarts at Walmart. Will work for your car
I use it in my '14 1200 GS and it's the best oil for the job, tried Castrol and it's not even close. With Motul she runs much smoother and the gearshifts are much better than on Castrol, or OEM BMW oil for that matter
If I used the Valvaline High Mileage Blend oil (red bottle) it would leak less oil.
All my cars i use motul 8100 power so spending price ranging from 300 to 1000.
So this time I went to my trusty bengkel and tried GULF Engine Oil. I have to say, the engine and response felt so much better than any engine oil that Ive used so far.
I used Castrol oil and was not satisfied but this oil till date has helped alittle with consumption as well.
I don't recommend toyota oem fluid for hard driving because it seems to cook easily.
