GT1 though is the king, give it a shot, it can undergo extreme temperatures, weights, velocity, never leaks ! it can reduce the friction and wear as well at the optimum level

Royal Purple is very good oil when used in the correct application.

I use Pentosynth 5w40. All W203s require oil meeting spec 229.3. 229.5 has supperceded it. Most off-the-shelf oil in the US does not. Certain Mobil One oils do, but not most.
