So from a recommendation from friends in mybenz.org and contilovers.com ... I went ahead and use the oil. Cheap and cheerful it is but what i wasn't expecting is how smooth my engine is :top: and the engine revs nicely w/o a hint of sluggishness (previous is Havoline 5w-30 :top<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />... Now let's see how good is this oil in d long run  and how long can last this feel good factor <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />.My initial impression of Bardahl 5W-40 fully synthetic is it's a good quality oil and it's quite cheap whereby it allows you to have a shorter OCI say around 7k-8k km because of the price. But alas IMHO if you want to have a longer OCI say around 12-15k km's then it's better to use a LL-01 approved oils like Castrol Edge, Mobil 1 Ow-40 and so on.</blockquote>
