Oil recommendations 0w40

[Ndx]

Hi Friends,

Since I’m currently in Canada ( oil deals are limited )

Castrol 0w40 is no longer available in large jugs around me.

Engines
V8 DI 4.8 2 turbos
V8 4.8 NA DI

Technically certs to meet LL-01? and A-40 ( but I’m ok with not having one as either will have stout oil )

Options:

M1 0w40
Fuchs 0w40 SuperSyn Long Life
Amsoil ?
LM

Fuchs is best price

Thx

Thank you

So this vs Fuchs ?

The Motomaster oil goes on sale almost once a month for around 40% to 50% off. I think around once a year it's even 60% off.
Walmart puts it's M1 0w40 at 50% off around once every 3 months.
This is when I buy my oil.
Filters, I usually order a bunch from rock auto once every year or so.

it’s little weird that it’s not meeting A-40 the Motomaster

The motomaster is A40. The CT website has the wrong picture for the 0w40 rear of the bottle

Go Motomaster over Fuchs.

Is the Pennzoil 0W40 A40 now?

M1 0w-40 on sale at Partsource or Canadian Tire.

You might want to consider Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w40. It’s the SRT oil. Not sure if it shows up at Canadian Tire.

It's not Euro rated and has a Noack of 13% and a SN/GF-5 style additive package. Not appropriate.

Thx all!

So M1 0w40 vs Motomaster 0w40/Shell

I'd go with the M1 0w-40.

Here are the new specs. It's now SP, GF-6 and has a vis comparable to a Euro oil. Its use is sanctioned for Supercharged SRT engines and is certainly good enough for the OP IMHO.

Looks the same as before, lol. I definitely wouldn't use it in anything that requires a Euro approval like A40 or LL-01, the AW additive levels are too low and the Noack is too high.

So what cars are these?

 

[Tifosi]

I vote for M1 0W-40 as well. Where I am at, it is readily available at just about any auto parts store and reasonably priced. It is a good oil and most importantly, DI engine friendly.

 

[Tifosi]

So what cars are these?

My guess is European. Audi, MB or BMW.

 

[mattwithcats]

Pennzoil Euro 0W-40 is my current fill.

Really smooth running, easy to start.

No to the SRT stuff…
