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
At around 4000km I did a break in oil change and switched over to liquimoly and noticed my oil regularly stays at 90-95C and only goes to 104 if driven hard.
Pros: lower oil temperature
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 4000 km
I use 5w30 ESP Mobil 1, has the 507 grade spec and gets on sale at Canadian tire pretty frequently
Pros: 507 grade spec
I have a 2015 golf tdi and have had good luck with Mobil 1 ESP.
Pros: good luck
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I want to say it was 7 quarts of synthetic (N54), and if I was buying I used either BMW branded oil or Liqui Moly (at the recommendation of my friendly local BMW centric indy mechanic)
Pros: Liqui Moly recommended
I pay about that. Quality oil and filters cost money. Many shops price oil changes as a loss leader. Euro oil changes are not sold this way, you pay the true price of the service (roughly $80 in supplies, half an hour of labor). I pay ~$160, But you get quality oil in return.
Pros: quality oil in return
Vehicle:
BMW
Full synthetic all the way, worth the extra cost. I’m trying out the new vavoline oil rn
Pros: worth the extra cost
My wife's truck recommends 5w-20. Burns it like a mfer though. I run 10w-40 in it and have for several years. Still going strong. 01 f150. Do with that what you will.
Pros: still going strong
Cons: burns oil
Vehicle:
Ford
I’ve used Shaffer’s and now ENEOS and T6 when it was the in thing and I can’t really tell a huge difference.
Pros: no huge difference
