The one that seems to have made the greatest difference (non-tracking) is the one referenced below in either 5w50, 5w40, or the two of them mixed together. Per the relevant gauges, the 996 runs a bit cooler and the viscosity (via oil pressure readings across running temperatures and times) stays higher.
Pros: runs cooler, viscosity higher
Cons: very expensive
Vehicle:
Porsche
As far as oil , im running valvoline restore and protect. Half way thru first oil change and the caked on varnish is just wiping away. Good stuff.
Pros: removes varnish, good quality
Vehicle:
Acura TL
I used one of the kits from Blauparts. I went with the cheaper Eurol kit. It's no different than the stuff from Mopar. No issues. The rear fluid was cooked, so I'm glad I serviced it when I did.
Pros: no issues, good quality
Cons: rear fluid was cooked
I like the Lucas ones personally.
Pros: user likes it
Liqui Molly special tech LL 5W30 îl cumpăr de la auto*arma. Îl iau pe asta pentru ca are norma vw 502.00 și îl folosesc pentru un motor 1.4 16V 80 c.p. benzina aspirat. Din căutările mele sunt puține uleiuri 5W30 cu norma vw 502.00 pe piața.
Pros: norma vw 502.00
Cons: putine uleiuri 5W30
Personally i never run ”GM” oil in my 95s anymore. I usually run Castrol edge 0-40
Vehicle:
Saab
Liqi moli molygen in toate, e cel mai bun
Pros: e cel mai bun
I use Motul 8100 5w-30. But I've heard the Ravenol is good, I think it's what one of the 86 racing series runs.
I also tried Ravenol's MT fluid, and I'm thinking I'm going back to it after the RedLine.
Pros: Motul 8100 5w-30
Cons: Ravenol MT fluid
Vehicle:
Toyota
My free oil change just ended And I switch to mobile 1 for this oil change. The result is i got worse gas mileage with the moblie one oil. Like 5 MPG worse.
Cons: worse gas mileage
