There seem to be 3 types of recommendations:
1.What I m already using -the engine will still run with the most inappropriate oil. Which is what some people choose and then they state "El cheapo oil X is great for the M96. "
2. What the smart people who read the M96 R&D use (JGDT40) or similar.
3. The tribology geeks find the tech charts that compare any candidate oil suggested according to the unusual lubrication needs of the M96:
- anti-foaming additives
- high shear resistance
- high thermal stability
- ? others
Sadly most responses say more about psychology & feelings(!) than tribology.
The question seldom asked is : "How much longer would you like the engine to last?"
