what do you think about motul competition 15w50 full sythetic?
or is a 10w40 enough?
Why a 10W-40 if you can use a good 0W-40 which is much better in cold protection and hot stability (esp. if the 10W-40 is only a mineral oil). And please don't worry about this silly urban legends.
Btw. is it for daily use? Then I would use a good 5W-50 full synthetic. Nice cold protection and hot stability. For the conscience you should install an extra oil cooler with thermostat.
All in all you can say its difficult too find "THE" best oil. It depends of your driving style and usage like daily driver, race trim, short trips etc. But a good 5W-50 full synth is a good allround oil for all seasons IMO.

Not to say it's a bad oil but wouldn't recommend this cause of the bad cold visco of 15W.. and you don't need such a high HTHS (shear stability) unless your engine revs over 10 000 RPM.
Du weißt ja, viel hilft nicht immer viel.
This is why I don't use 10W, 15W 20W cold visco.
