i had previously been using Total Energy 9000 5-40 and had been running it for 2 seasons .i would change out the filter after 1 year and top it up with approx. 3/4 qt of fresh oil. i don't drive a whole lot and had only put on about 9,500 miles in that time. i just switched back to Castrol Edge 5-40 this week.

i switched from Castrol Syntec 5/40 to Total(ELF) 5/40--it's good stuff,long drain formula,too.their website says you can safely run it for 2 years before changing it out
Pros: long drain formula
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Total 5w40 took care of me to 8k with a 3071R. The oil is pretty decent stuff and not terribly expensive. I like their gear lube in my boxes. I run it in everything from my MKIV/B5 to my 07 Impreza 2.5i
Pros: decent stuff, not expensive

Total 10w30. Don't burn a drop. Stage II.
Pros: Don't burn a drop
Part number: 10W30
I use that stuff on a daily basis, I get boxes and boxes of total oil, its great stuff, I'm using it in my ABA as well
Pros: great stuff, daily use
I have been running this oil for the past 2 oil changes and its all good! Excellent product since it has been around for ages and it is euro After i drained my oil at 7500k's (4660miles) you could still see through the oil....any other synthetic i have had you could not do that.
Pros: Excellent product, oil still clear
Mileage: 7500 km
I used to use mobil1 5w30 for 2 or 3 oil changes then switch to Total 5w40 full syn and it burns way less. I think I burn a whole quart every 3 or 4k using 5w30 but with Total 5w40 I burnt probably hald that.
Pros: burns way less
Cons: burn a quart
