There are so many people saying 5W50 is better for Z.... Some of them are sure, 5W30 kills engine after 30-40k km’s driving on the limit. And if you go to Germany, there is no way to drive easy like in my country.

These people you are talking to know nothing about engine oil. They are spouting bad information.

No. Thicker oil is not better in Winter - the opposite is usually true.

5W30 will NOT damage the engine; it's what the factory calls for.
