So I’m in the U.K. and I just had my car serviced it’s an x4M, the reccomend is BMW or Castrol Edge, I went for Mobil 1 0w-30. For some reason not sure if it’s the oil my fuel economy has gone up by 100 miles per tank
Mobil1 especially the ESP 5W30, it has certifications from major manufacturers such as MB229, BMW LL, and importantly Porsche C30 certified which is the most strict out there... Also can't be helped that I own a Peugeot which happens to recommend Mobil 1 as well...
12 years running and no major issues so far on the unreliable-ass Prince EP6 Engine.
‘15 here and I use Mobil 1 0w40 euro spec or whatever it is.
I change mine about every 4500 miles or so and I use Mobil 1 oil. Manufacturers love to point out how little it costs to maintain their vehicles but changing your oil every 10k will ensure you’ll be replacing your vehicle sooner than later and that benefits the dealership.
Mobil1 oil and filter.
Is all I use in my 2007 1500 5.7 hemi.
Over 200000 miles so far.
PUP or PP for oil and Mopar or Mobil 1 for filter (5thgen)
Stopped buying the dealer oil and switched to Mobil one esp x2, stopped asking for more oil between 5k changes.
I’m from saudi and the owner’s manual recommends 0w20 or 5w30, never mentioned 0w16 despite that the engine is the same (A25A-FKS). Im using mobil 5w30 btw
My wife drove her 2008 Passat 2 miles per day for six years. As you can imagine, during these very short drives in winter, the oil became diluted - this was born from sever UOAs. So, I changed the oil every 1,500 miles and the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Over-kill perhaps but based upon my personal expectations, worth the time and money. We used Mobil 1 0W40....which sheared to a 0W30 fairly quickly and stabilized.
Dad is in the process of changing the oil in my car and told me my oil filter looks just like yours. Got me thinking and I realized used a Mobil 1 filter this time. An my car only had 4k on that filter. Stay away from that filter people!
