My Service and Warranty Information booklet says 5W-30 for regular maintenance. I use 5W-40 Motul 8100. Both are listed as okey dokey as long as they're LL-01 quality.
Exactly this! Why does it list them all? And yes I know I'm over thinking this as all of the above will work perfectly in the N54. But some are using this and some are using that etc. I understand that if u live in a -30 country the 0w makes sense rather than the 5w. But on the other hand 5w work's as well according to data info. I think basically if u stick to any of these all will b good. I was just asking the simple question if anyone actually changed oil from 0w to 5w ....season permitting. I've been using castrol edge sport 5w40 for nearly 4 years now and been happy but it's quite hard to find now.. But going to try 0w40 or 5w40 redline, see how it goes.
