I'm one the run the full 15000km intervals and never had a problem. Coming up to 400000kms now!
Runs good in summer and winter.

I haven't measured the temp of the motor with a fancy thermometer yet, but my guess would be the motor would be running close the same temp summer or winter. Or it thermostat isn't doing its job!
Hi Evgeni, how are ya mate! i'll definitively know what to use when my engine hits 400k lol! Funny you mention the thermostat, my temp gauge sits on 88c on warmish days then comes up to 92c on hot days. I dont think i'm running the stock thermostat, its slightly colder, been fine so far.

cheer's, Maka
