The less "wider range" an engine oil is, the less modifier it required. Thus, generally the oil can last "longer".0w-30 or 5w-30 is now a recommended oil for most newer vechicle because is more enviroment friendly. (more fuel per tank). But I prefer my engine oil to have higher HTHS>3.0 and cSt@100c>12.5. Most ACEA A3, weight 40, and/or MB229.3 engine oil meet this requirement. Is always better to be on safe side when my engine sees 6000k rev constantly <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  (*cough, it won't drift below 5000k. Damn torque!)To reduce "evaporation" issue, looking for higher Flash Point.So my choice of oil is : the cheapest, and easiest oil to find that qualified ACEA A3 and MB229.3, with oil weight of 40. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
