850R Engine oils ?
My 855r is due for its first service under my ownership and I was just wondering what is the best engine oil to use for this car?
It has had castrol SLX (now castrol edge) in the past. Any tips on a great oil out there most welcome. stevesR |

I went to fully synthetic Mobil1 0-40 and it leaked from the rear main seal in weeks. |
