Using Castrol Syntec 0w30 European Formula (Made in Germany). It's best to get a UOA (Used Oil Analysis) to see how all these different oils are doing for your car.

I put nothing but Amsoil in my motor. Don't do Mobil1, TCTs are known for failing when using it. If you want an off the shelf oil, Castrol or Pennzoil full synthetics are probably the best.

think of it this way besides brand, more thinner the better it is for winter condition and vice versa for thicker oils on a hot summer day.
