i see you are new to the forum..so here comes the1000+ repeated post from:Im planning on getting Motul 300V Competition 5W40 for my FL5 CTR, is this a bad idea?
I was recommended the Mobil 1 ESP 0W40 4X because it has a medium level of detergents and a high cSt. I live in Florida where its hotaf so the 0W part makes me squirm, I'd rather have a 5W oil. Would it really matter?
I know this is overkill for the street and I'd only be using this for the track with some street driving,
I had the Amsoil 5W30 SS but starting cSt isn't that high, its only 11 and the 12 and 13 cSts of Mobil 1 ESP and Motul 300V confer much better protection
@edyvw about ambient temp and grades,base oil etc.
@kschachn about hths
@chris719 about Mobil 1 ESP 0W40 X4, its Porshe's OEM oil
