Engine oil VALVOLINE or MOTUL
I'm running 10w60 MOTUL 7100, I sit on the revs though, always Tach out!
I recommend Motul and I advise tou to never use RS8, it's a rebarded Xhina brand.
I use Valvoline VR1 in my street car and whatever full synthetic that is on sale for my Taurus and Titan.
I was at LordCo recently and one of the workers was going off while i was looking at Motul.
Just swapped over to Valvoline Restore and Protect in my N52 BMW daily driver with 215k miles. I drive a lot and am taking before and after photos inside the valve train. I have exclusively used Castrol Edge A3/B4 for years so I will have a true comparative.
Motul 8100 xcess for high mileage. I've had a few subies thrive on this stuff.
Valvoline is the best oil I can recommend to you. Not even Royal Purple matches it in quality. They have a +75K miles and a +150K miles version of the oil. All of my cars are now on it after trying them all (Mobil, Royal Purple, Pennzoil, Castrol), the only one that effectively prevented oil burn and sealed any leaks in my other cars was Valvoline.
I personally prefer Valvoline, they seem to know what they're doing and have their own engine lab to test and experiment with oils, and that oil they made specifically for hi-milage engines work bloody good at rejuvenating a smoky old engine.
I have to use high zinc oil, Valvoline VR1 is the only oil I can buy that has enough zinc.
I refill about 1/2 qt of oil every 2500 miles.
