Last change,
Motul 300v Competition 15w-50
I'm in love with it. I have zero complaints. I'm burning a tad less oil, warm up time has not significantly increased, the car feels smoother with it. I will be sending this change out to a UOA to see how the break down is with ester based oils in a daily driven car. Smells like cotton candy too.
Before
Motul 8100 5w-30
Loved it, tracked on it, a bit on the lighter weight for my turbo burning oil
When I didn't work at the shop

Here's the thing about rotella its high in phosphorus which will ruin a catalytic converter over time, hence the recommendation for diesel vehicles which most did not come with one. UOAs seem to be very good though.

I only get to drive the car on weekends. When I do drive it, I rev it hard and keep it hot for hours at a time. I change oil every 3 monts OR after an event or particularly long or hard trip which happens to be around 2000 miles on average. Blackstone analysis shows that I could probably go the full 3000 miles and longer than 3 months, so I guess I'm just being overprotective.
