Re: engine oil
full synthetic 5w50 . full synthetic 10w60 Seems awfully heavy to me. Those aren't oils I've ever seen in the US. 10w60 is used in BMW 7 with the big engine. My 04 S80 T6 runs best on 5W30.

Re: engine oil
The cold start wear thing is a fiction. Oil pressure on startup hits 60 psi quickly, in a few seconds. Once oil pressure hits the bearings, the metal does not touch. Even on startup, the metal surfaces don’t touch from the film of oil left. That’s why when idled my T5 for 15-30 minutes earlier this ...
