Another ´bout OIL. Need help: MOTUL 300v 5W-30 10w-40 15w-50 or MIX??

Hi friends, I´m new at these forum, I´ve searched a lot bout oils, but I still have a doubt:

I´ve read that 4 my type or driveing and weather, 10w-30 it´s the best, but MOTUL does not make that range. What should I choose?


I just bought a 94 rx7 with 40 000milles.
One´s a Week I like to rev hard...., the other days is like a daily street driver...
I would like to change the Oil for a "V" rating.

A friend of mine, can get me MOTUL OILS really cheap (only motul) and I would like to know what viscosity to order.

THANX 4 YOUR HELP!!!
Sorry 4 the OIL repost..

I forgot to say That I like in Argentina, and the temperatures during the year fluctuates between 0ºC and 35ºC. (NOw is spring, and it is 10º to 28º)

thanx!



PS: Is the "premix" totally necessary?

Just use the 10W-40.

I don't believe that premix is absolutely necessary, but that's just my opinion. Using premix in addition to the stock oil injection will kill your stock cat in no time.

DOn't waste your money on expensive oil. Just use regular 10w-30 or 40 and change it every 1k-1.5k.
