My 2009 1.33 likes both 5w30 (or 0w30) and 0w20. Out of the factory they came with 5w30, but toyota later recommended the switch with the 1.33 engine. With normal use and lower speeds 0w20 is best, if you drive a lot at higher rpms than 5w30 would be better (at130kmu/3200rpm 5w30 is smoother).
Pros: 5w30 smoother at high rpms
Vehicle:
Toyota Yaris
I tried 10W40 in my car as 5W40 was beyond my budget at the time and it's been great.
Pros: great performance
I buy Honda oil for my Honda because it came from the factory!
Pros: factory oil

Eu coloquei na última troca o oleo 15w40 da Petronas API SP. Reparei que meu carro ficou até mais econômico, inclusive.
Pros: mais econômico

I use it on my 2016 S5 and it’s wonderful. It’s basically the same as Leichtlauf just with the friction modifier and UV capabilities if you need to spot an oil leak (only in the first 300 or so miles because then the oil gets too dirty to work with the UV). I’ve heard the friction modifier works well in older performance cars due to the increased wear of their engines. Yes it’s technically not approved but you won’t go wrong with it.
Pros: wonderful, friction modifier, UV capabilities
Cons: UV works only short term
Vehicle:
Audi S5

Pros: helped chain rattle

eu la cc ul meu 2.0 tdi cfgb am pus si 0w30 si 5w30. (0w30 ulei volkswagen si 5w30 fuchs si ravenol). vara, in blana pe autostrada, uleiul 0w30 atingea si 118-119 grade ceea ce e cam aproape de limita. 5w30 peste 114 nu trecea.
Pros: 5w30 mai rece
Cons: 0w30 atinge limita

BMW
Mileage: 151000 km
Daca e motor de la VW atunci recomandarile mele ar fi Liquimoly Longlife III, Motul 8100 X-Clean+, Mobil 1 ESP.
Reprezentantele folosesc in general Castrol Edge LL. Dar eu nu prea sunt impacat cu brand-ul asta.

Absolutely Liqumoly!
Please never put Amsoil in a Volkswagen they under rate their viscosity/ wt ratings and the only time I used their oil I ended up spinning a rod bearing in my first R32
Cons: spinning a rod bearing
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
