The M96 has some very specific and rather unusual tribology requirements.Very few of the mass marketed oils qualify.
There is lots written ab0ut the specific additive package required.More is not necessarily better.

I use the LN recommended filters and the oil I use is someone's name in 5W40. I just wanted to avoid another great oil debate by not mentioning the name. No matter what you oil you use, SOMEONE will have an issue with it and say that has to be your problem... Heck, maybe it is!
