Hey there! Long time no see (or read).

So I got a ´16 2SS 6MT with now about 55.000 km or roughly 34.000 miles on it.
This is the second oil change that I will do myself, as I have bought the car in November 2021.

I just now read that there was a change in factory oil fillings somewhere in 2020/2021 from a previous 5W-30 to a 0W-40.

So now I got the pain of making a choice between what I want to fill into my engine.

I read an amazing thread from TrackCLub from 2020 where there was a nice discussion about oil, but here comes the second problem...

I live in Germany. And we don't have access to products from Valvoline, Amsoil and many more (unfortunately).

Basically, the only Dexos 2 specified oil from Mobil 1 I can get is the ESP X3 0W-40.

Is there a difference between the ESP X3 0W40 and the ESP Formula? Or is this the same oil?

Or do you guys have any other oils that you can recommend for my car?

Thanks guys, take care
