For your car 5w-30 full synthetic plus a fresh filter ..Mahle, Fram etc..

Almost any oil meeting that spec will do..

API SN or SN+ or SP is the technical spec

I think you need 5.5 litres

Are you planning to change it yourself?

So 5W-30 API SN or better
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
A very modified Atacama Yellow 35is :thumbsup:
