Using liquimoly 5/40 and some liquimoly m0s2 friction modifier.

What does stock say 0w/30 or is 0w/40 now?

I would think a slightly thicker oil will give a bit better protection but, cost a few more ponies.

Thoughts?
Don't add any stuff into oil. Your oil has already all necessary additives. Liqui Moly built its business on those additives long before they got into oil business. It is marketing gimmick.
If you are out of warranty, Castrol Edge 0W40 is IMO still best bet for N/S55. If you still want LL01, Motul, Pennzoil would be my choice.
