Join the facebook page for CRD jk's there are some euro guys on the page so you can compare the ambient temperatures for oil type.

500ml over 5k isnt a huge deal, do you have a catch can?
No catch can

Did try some Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5w-40 Ester based oil a couple of years back for a couple of fills, but once after doing quite a number short trips back & forth to the local garbage dump the engine light came on, so I dont think maybe the Cat Con liked it !

Can get the Moble1 0w-40 esp quite cheap(1/2 price) currently from local retailer as there're matching on line price I'm furnishing them with.
The oil is still clear since last change about a month ago !
If its starts eating some oil in the future will it be advantageous to try a slightly heavier 5w ... is there that much of a difference ?
