What oil for your chariot?
Opinions all round which is the norm to be honest.........
All the above are top notch with myself using Fuchs supersyn fully 5w40 all the way.
My personal opinion would be though - with modern blown engines such as ours, what's the cost of an oil & filter change every 1k miles for 30quid (its also easy to be ripped off for oil theese days too) compared to an engine rebuild for 3k - the descision is yours but I know what I prefer.
My personal fave oils are (makes it sound like ice creams huh
)
(fully synthetic of course unless running/new engine)
Fuchs/Silkolene
Motul
Red line
Amsoil
Valvoline
Be also careful of what exactly your use of your vehicel is....track day then use oil accordingly (50/60) or general perhaps just a 40...use the search function for more info but the top man for info is off course Opie Oils!!!!
More often the better remember....its the blood of your engine so never scrimp and save.
Hope my opion helps?

ps. and no grief cos Im an evo driver also...Im an enthusiest like the rest of you
