Running Total Quartz 9000 (fully synthetic) 5w40 in my 6. Haven't had any issues so far in the 12k miles I've had it. In fact it'll be getting changed for the same stuff next week. 5 litres of Oil + Genuine Pug oil filter came to £34 delivered so can't complain at all.________________________________________ 2000 W Phase 3 Moonstone. |

I also run Total Quartz 9000 which is the recommended oil if you want fully synthetic, with genuine filters. This oil also has the advantage of being inexpensive as others have said.________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

I use 5W 40 fully synthetic Castrol Edgeand Castrol 75W 85 for the transmission, only semi synthetic, if you go fully they recommend a 2000km flush with the fully synthetic. |
