Use 10w40 semi or fully synthetic, the 0w40 you are currently using is too thin.

10W50 would be much better suited for your conditions, if you can get Motul in Portugal (which I'm sure you can) try to get hold of their 300V 15W50 as it smells better than Mobil

Although it used to be held in high regard - it's not really very good, and is expensive for what it is. If you can get Millers/Motul/Silkolene etc - they all come highly recommended.

I don't know where I can get the Motul, so I was thinking in ordering through a web site in the uk... all the motul 300V is 15w50? isn't that to thick? I saw in a iste but they only have "bottles" of 1 or 2 litre I think. with an oil cooler I'll need around 5 litres?
