Engine oil VALVOLINE or MOTUL
I try and stick with Motul 10W60. But I don’t think the engines are particularly picky about brand
I'm using Valvoline 0W-20 Restore and Protect, changing every 4,000 miles. '23 OBW, 56,000 miles. FYI, I did an oil analysis at my last oil change. Wear numbers were excellent, less than 1.5 ppm/1,000 miles. 3 iron, 2 aluminum, 1 copper over 4,128 miles. Fuel dilution was HIGH though, at 4.3%. They expect 1.5- 1.8% for direct injection turbos. According to the Motor Oil Geek, less than 5ppm/1,000 miles is considered good. I do a fair number of short trips, but also some longer runs. I'm going to go to max of 4,000 miles due to the gas dilution.
Have it in my N55 and it's very happy.
I’ve used it, no complaints.
I recommend this. used it for my m550
holds up very well. the car likes it. the thinner OE spec oil kind of evaporated a bit after 4-5k miles but this one hasnt.
I have a block heater, and use high quality synthetic oil (Motul 8100 5W-30) .
One oil that seems to work from all the videos I've watched for cleaning varnish is the Valvoline Restore and Protect.
I use this on my Hyundai Elantra for the past 100k miles ... It's already at 200k and the engine still feels new ... I use Valvoline for everything including power steering ... Valvoline syn blend is a great oil option ...
I went to Valvoline once, oil pan emptied itself onto their floors the moment I started the engine. Joking aside I think it's perfectly fine to go to Valvoline, I go there often bringing my own oil and filter, that way I know it's the right oil and it's good quality stuff.
I was using Motul 7100 before 2nd service and after switching from Prolube. Service center guys insisted like hardcore, to go for prolube because of warranty blah blah. So i switched, and ive just ridden about 100 km now the bike feels like crap. Will switch back to Motul.
