Oil recommendations to eliminate high oil consumption and timing issues due to oil getting in the combustion chamber from leaking guide seals.
Use only the Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 LIQUI MOLY stock 5W-40 Oil number 3863, 1 liter 8576, 4 liters 8578, and 5 liters 8536 and on the first oil change use Leichtlauf engine flush before the oil change.
