Motul 300V or German Castrol Syntec

F*ck Mobile 1, their new formula is all about the profits and not so much about protecting your motor anymore. That sh*t will burn away quick in these motors.

And to be honest, I'm in CA, so I won't know how these oils will fare in cold weather.

I used Pennzoil platinum for my first oil change on my G with 59k. I read good reviews on it while doin a little research. Got 5 quarts for $25 at Oreillys.

Mobil1 5w30

But I like Pennzoil Ultra 5w30 more.

I would just stick to 5w30, it's recommended and I use that grade while prowling around up here. Lol
