I have a 2016 Rolls Royce Wraith 6.6L V12
Same engine as a 2014 BMW 760LI V12
The owner's manual allows four different kinds of oil, 0w-30, 5w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40. The owner's manual also states that an API SN rating is required. I also read online that Rolls Royce recommends Castrol oil. The 0w-30 Castrol euro formula I am seeing is SL rated. Wouldn’t I need an Sn rating or higher? SL rated oil cannot be added in SN rated vehicle? Which of the four viscosity’s of oil should I use? I want the most protection from the oil. Which brand of oil?
Cost of oil isn’t an issue, I just want the most protection and quality oil. I read about Amsoil brand, being 100% synthetic. Amsoil has all four viscosity types. Which Amsoil Euro brand should I use? The chart on the Amsoil site shows each of their euro oils has a different HTHS rating.
I understand that European vehicles have longer oil change intervals, therefore needing higher HTHS and must be rated for longevity unlike regular oil at the connivence store.
Thank you for your help
