Best oil to use

I'm sure this has been debated before. But what do you think is the best oil for the s65 engine? Is it Liqui-Moly 10w-60 or Castrol Supercar 10w-60 or something else?

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the big brands. I run Ravenol RSS 10w60 which isn't common in the US, but I really like it's properties, holds up great on track. I think some said liqui moly 10w60 runs a tad thick. But If it's a street car, not being driven hard until warmed up any should be fine.

Ya, I usually wait a good 10 minutes or so and never drive it when it's colder than 35 degrees.

Sweet Jesus. This is not a cocktail. Just use a good synthetic and change at reasonable intervals.
