Why spend more when you can buy Shell Helix Ultra FS 5w40 from Lotus's, Giant or Aeon Big for half the price or less compared bought in petrol stations.

Pros: half the price
Cons: spend more

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

Just keep the right viscosity oil in it and monitor the oil temp. You might be able to read oil temp from you ECU through the obd port. 120-130C is very ok with good synthetic oil.

I blew up a VW polo with the wrong oil and high oil temps.

Pros: good synthetic oil ok
Cons: wrong oil high temps
Vehicle: Volkswagen Polo

Stay away from rotella conventional. I’ve heard and now as well personally have had a turbo grenade due to their oil quality, that’s the conventional anyways.

Cons: turbo grenade
