I use Fuchs Titan SuperSyn 5W-40 - widely considered to be the lowest-consumption oil for the M54 engine, and it's very cheap.
Mann filter.
I use the castrol gtx high mile full synthetic 10w-40 and a sohn adapter with ideimitsu. I’m sure non of the name brands will hurt As long as you change it frequently.
I change every 10,000 km - 7000 mi.
Castrol or Mobil full synthetic.
To me that is much better than running any brand of oil longer.
I’m a Castrol 0W40 guy myself.
It doesn't seem like I burn any oil in my Rabbit. 0w-20 seems too light to me, also, I'm running Castrol Edge 10w-40.
I run Castrol GTX 10w40 in my FD. Premix TCW2 2stroke oil .5oz/gal.
Engine seems happy as can be.
I use mobil1 or castrol full synth 0W-20 for prius engines below 200k and 0W-30 for those above it. More than 30k mi now so far so good. I like the castrol better bec my engines sounds much quieter vs m1.
I use castrol magnatec beucase it has some kindof ionization tech where it sticks to metal surfaces to reduce start up wear which the prius is constanly starting/stopping.
As someone who lives in Florida, and has a high mileage m54 motor, I only use Castrol 5w40 and 5w30 if I cant find the first option. Runs amazing and daily driven with some abuse lol
I was using the OEM Castrol 5w40 and recently switched to Castrol European Formula 0w40. I found that I had the oil level drop a bit (oil burn perhaps) with the latter. For the current change I went back to OE Castrol and will see if things go back to no level drop.
