Three reasons for 5w-40 Millers nano EE /CFS:

a) CFS withstands much higher temperatures (lubrication quality guaranteed up to 140deg C, NA R6 are known to be running the temps quite high, while pushed hard - with my other car i observe as much as 125deg C once riding it hard , ie. most of the time close to red-line)

b) better lubrication due nanoparticles

c) most of (annoying) mechanical noise/hum from the engine are past memories with 5w-40

In average it burns half liter of oil per interval regardless its specs/brand...
