In my limited knowledge, if your engine is stock, you could just use any oil grade recommended by the manufacturer. However, if there are some upgrades already, especially at engine and turbo, Motul 300v or equivalent would be a better choice.

ic, mine is stock... my friend got ask me to take the amsoil sso 0w-30... but i am not sure about the grade... i know nothing about oil, and turbo engine... 0w-30 better for turbo engine or 15w-50...

I have been using Motul 300v Competition for the past 40,000km. I believe the grade is 15W-50. So far so good. In a five-lap track the oil temperature has generally been under 110'C.

u sure below 110c?
i used b4 but is over 120c after 3laps
sorry to kacau here just curious

 

[Turbohead]

Yup. On a particularly hot day it may go up to 115'C but has never exceeded 120'C on a 5-lap run. Most other times it's just hovering around 108'C. Maybe my oil temp meter is inaccurate, or my turbo is smaller (GT28), and maybe simply I'm a slow driver.

 

[Jun_EK9]

maybe your oil coller is bigger :)

bro dun try to save money on little things like motor oil. Later your engine kaboom you're gonna need a whole lot of $$. It may cost you RM5xx per oil change but you know you have a better protection than some RM1xx oil. This is the extra price that we all expect to pay when it comes to owning performance cars.

motul is the right brand to use.
if u think 300v expensive, you can consider motul 4100.

i am using Motul-4100, change every 3000km.
no joke, the oil temp drops significantly since change to Motul-4100. (sorry as i cannot remember how many degree it drops)

there are so many brands in the market. stick to motul, you can't go wrong.

the reason i do not use 300v:
1. very expensive.
2. much much costly if change at every 3000km.
3. it is "thinner" so less power loss. you feel more power. i believe it is expensive because it gives similar protection even though thinner.
4. i found out motul-4100 giving lower oil temp as well, more affortable, thicker means good protection.

btw, mine is evo8mr, not an evo-x ...

Oil change every 3000km, you very sayang your car bro... I change mine every 5,000km. If every 3,000km then I kena change every 3-4 weeks as I drive a lot and will go bankrupt sooner than later.

so motu 4100 15-50 is recommended for evos engin ?
