Hi 940v40,

I use Amsoil (full-syn) 10W40 in my turbo and Shell Rotella T 15W40 in my non-turbo. I change the Amsoil every ~8K km (5K mi) and the Rotella every ~5K km (3K mi). When you change the oil use a new crush ring on the drain plug. I got magnetic drain plugs from IPD for XMas too :) As mentioned, the only lubing that's needed is door hinges, latches, etc (white lithium spray works well). When you change the coolant it would be a good idea to mix distilled or deionized water with the coolant instead of tap water. Also, if you might want to consider a cooling system update too, as the rad, hoses and heater valve are probably nearing the end of their lifespan if they are original.
