Engine oil ELF or FUCHS
I've been putting 10w-40 ELF 70 STI regular oil in my 1.6 petrol from '98 for 3 years now with no issues.
Pros: no issues, good performance
Vehicle:
Opel Astra G
Fuchs Titan pro 5w50
Pros: Titan pro
Last oil change I've decided to try what my friends run and bought FUCHS GERMANY: TITAN SYN MC 10W-40 and put 2k km on it, I'm pleased, it's nice greasy and cheap
Pros: nice greasy and cheap
Mileage: 2000 km
Been running Fuchs 5W40 lately, N52 with 130k kms
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 130000 km
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.
Pros: lowest-consumption oil, very cheap
Fuchs Titan 5w30
5w40 for sure, my engine sounds happier, quieter, more sound than it did when the PO had 5w30 in it. So 5w40 is a given especially since you have a lot of Km on the clock, when it comes to the brand it really doesn't matter especially if you keep the oil change intervals reasonable.
Pros: engine sounds happier, quieter
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 12500 km
I use Elf Oil and I change mine every 5-7k miles.
Pros: oil change 5-7k miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 11200 km
My experience with oil consumption - 5W30 VW - First oil used by me in this car - 2000km - 200 ml added 5W40 Fuchs Titan Race Pro S - Now in the engine - 1000km - Same level as it was at the revision
Pros: Same level at revision
Cons: 200 ml added
Vehicle:
Seat Leon
Mileage: 1000 km
I have oil analysis done in my TDI and a 10K OCI is a reach. The factory fill was almost depleted of wear additives at 5,500 miles. Fuchs Titan GT-1 was still serviceable at 7,000 miles, but I would not have carried it out beyond that.
Pros: serviceable at 7,000 miles
Cons: 10K OCI is a reach
Mileage: 5500 km
