Mine has done around 150.000KMS and I was using castrol magitec, after driving It for a week or so the lifter's started to get very noisie (ticking sound) and my service centre suggested a more thicker oil the next service I got a higher garde oil and that solved the problem ( mobile semi syth) worked for me.

taste it... synth tastes alot better than semi and mineral

Varies between brands. Helix mineral tastes better than Valvoline Synth.

Gold oil = new / newer oil
black oil = Used oil
