    Default Engine oil recommendation

    Hi to everyone

    What oil grade would you guys recommend for the M60 engine. Temperature range from 10deg celcius to 37deg celcius all year round. Tropical country.(Mauritius-Indian Ocean)


    Mobil 1 is available in only 0W40. Can I use this mobil 1. Else I can get Valvoline in 5W50.
