Well the oil change itself is unbelievably easy and clean. The Motul oil works well for me.
Pros: easy and clean
I run Motul in the Subaru with a bunch of track days and it has had no oil related problems and does not burn excessive amounts of oil with almost 75,000 miles.
Pros: no oil related problems
Cons: burns no excessive oil
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 75000 km
Have you given the Motul Specific 502.00/505.00/505.01 a try? I switched to it years ago on my mk5 rabbit (140k miles or so over the past 5.5 years across 3 cars) with excellent results. It is a mid SAPS oil like the x-clean as well.
Pros: excellent results, mid SAPS
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 140000 km
Cost me 62 dollars using motul xcess 8100 5w40 and took 15 minutes start to finish.
Pros: easy, quick oil change
much to my surprise, the motor has not burned a drop of oil in the first 50,000 miles (I change the oil every 5000 miles).
Pros: not burned a drop
I've used Motul in my Golfs for years, good stuff.
Pros: good quality, long-term use
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
