Hello folks.
At the moment my TDI PD has ~81k miles on it. I'm using Motul 505.01 5w40 100% syntetic oil.
My friend owns BMW 320d 100 KW with 120k miles on it and he's using 5w30 oil. He says that I'm stupid and idiot to be using 5w40 at such mileage. He claims I'd be using 5w30 instead.
I got confused. Someone told me that for our climate (West/Central Europe, in winter -25 in summer +30, humidity is high) it is a good idea to use w40.
My driving style is 95% city driving with frequent stops and accelerates.
Will it be better if I switch to 5w30 now? Guys, I need youd advice on this question, please share your opinion. Thanks.
