Let me be the first to welcome you. Now let me be the first to suggest you use the search function before posting a question.

A lot of topics have been previously discussed ad nauseam. None more so than oil type. I use Liqui-Moly 5-40.

Release the hounds.

Engin oil?
 

sorry guys, I am 73, and not very computer smart:)
Thank you for the fast answer
BTW. English is my 3rd language, I am Swiss living in NB Canada

You are excused and pardon my bluntness.
A lot of people run Mobil 1. I did for years.

I recently switched to Shell Rotella T6 0w-50 and the engine has never been happier. I had a tick at cold start that no longer exists and it just feels smoother (probably placebo).

If you want to go absolute top shelf, Joe Gibbs DT40, but it’s ridiculously expensive and probably overkill.

I can get Mobil 1, but witch one sould I bay ?
5-40 ore 0-40
Thanks
Ernst

For your climate, I would go with 0w-50.
If you can’t get it, 0w-40 will be fine.
