The recommended Castrol isn't bad, but I've had better success with Mobil1 and Liquid Moly.
Try using liqui moli engine oil, change the air filter too.
The best all rounder motor oils currently in the US are Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Amsoil Signature, the latter you can run for at least 20k normal service or 15k extreme service.
I got better results from signature 5w30 at 11,200 mi than I did from Motorcraft “full synthetic(lies) at 4300mi. So I change my amsoil at 8-10k and my Pennzoil ultra platinum at 7500.
After completing the 1000 km run in and going through the first service where I got Cepsa xtar 10w40 oil, the gearbox remained hard, compared to my previous F650 bmw.
Did some digging regarding engine oil and how I could improve my gear shifting experience, engine smoothness and durability and the choice was either Motul 7100 or LiquiMoly Street Race 10w40. Decided on Liqui Molly and definitely I am noticing much smoother gear shifts and maybe even less vibration. I am surprised. The change is definitely noticeable.
I like amsoil 5w-30 and do a liquimoly engine flush with every oil change.
5w40 liquidmoly
On a new car, I change at 750, then again at 3000, and after that I do my regular once per year or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, as stated on Amsoil Signature. I've been using this oil for decades in cars, trucks, and tractors. It's incredibly good oil.
Got an oil change @ 94.1k using liqui moly 5w40. Low oil Light popped up at 96.4k. (Added 1 quart). Now I’m at 96.6k. Checked again and the bar is just one level under the “max” Why am I burning oil so quick?
Liqui Moly is just marketing hype, isn't actually an oil that outperforms other brands.
