car: Maserati Ghibli SQ4 2017
Please advise. The manufacturer recommends 5W40 engine oil for the 2017 model year, but 10w60 from 2017 onwards. The engine (allegedly) is not technically different at all (the same part numbers). It differs in software (including increased power from 410 to 430 hp). The engine is built by Ferrari but is based on a 3-liter version of the Pentastar.
I drive rather calmly, in 90% of cases in the lower rev range, but higher revs occur when overtaking.
I have been driving on https://millersoils.com/products/ee-performance-10w60/ for 2 years, but I live in Poland and temperatures in winter sometimes drop below 0 degrees Celsius for several months. Hence the idea whether an "intermediate" oil would be better for calm driving in such a climate: 5w50 https://millersoils.com/products/ee-performance-5w50/
