Going to be changing my oil soon, just wondering what or if there is any particular oil people recommend to use. Been using Castrol gtx and Edge 10w-40 recently.

Lots of choice and everyone like to use different.

I personally use Millers CFS 10W40 or 10W50

Turner motorsports e30 m3 service package with 3 oil recommendations link below, as the site says, they have been using these since 1993, so would use same oil numbers in top brand synthetic, cheers.

if not already, fit yourself a oil pressure and oil temp gauge to see what works as the correct viscosity then find one with the correct ingredients with the right viscosity
