As a 2015 Abarth 595 owner here in the UK I tried Petronas Syntec and have to say the little fella seemed to like it.
Owner reviews for engine oil
5W-30 Castrol C4, never fails with my Clio. DPF is safe and sound, no soot, no weird smells.
Fuchs Titan GT1 5w30.
Best oil for me is Motul 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 C3, or Liquil Moly. 5W-40 because I got more hot climate here (Greece).
Liqui Moly leichtlauf hightech 5w40. Because it matches the BMW LL-01 specification and was formulated to help with the sticky piston rings issue common to many german engines. Noticed lower oil temp under load and a gradual reduction of oil consumption
5W40 Castrol Euro. I get less oil consumption than 5w-30 and it seems to run a bit more smoothly.
Castrol Edge 'Euro Car' 5W-40
Used to get a big white plume on cold starts but no more. Still burn a lot, but not as much
Best oil I've used
Put about 300K on two different M54's so far. Originally Mobil1/Castrol 0W30 (that was the original BMW recommendation in early 2000s), eventually switched to Pennzoil Euro 5W40 for oil leak reduction.
Yo usaba Elaion en la Ecosport 2008 y es carisimo para lo que es. Ahora uso el Helix de Shell sin ningun problema
I burn 1 qt of Mobile 1 0-40 every 1000 miles.
