Try Motul 300V Competition 15W50.Schould use much less and you'll be using THE BEST.

I never hear anything good about Mobil, and I heard good and bad things about Valvoline. Never heard about ANY problems with Motul.

Ive been told to use 10/60???????? Not sure what too do now lol

Azrael

You can. But the only 10W60 oil I can recomend with clean heart is Castrol TWS Motorsport 10W60 which in UK is only obtainable through BMW dealerships. DO NOT USE CASTROL RS 10W60!!

Still I don't see any oil better then Motul.

Why Not use RS10w60. This is all i have used for three years with absolutely no problems at all.

Generally because it is not what you are paying for. Current formulation of Castrol RS 10W60 has nothing to do with original formulatin from early 90's. Leaves terrible waste buildup inside the engine too. Much worse oil then it used to be.
