vs
Engine oil FUCHS or Total
I use the same oil for my C4 1.6HDi, just 5w-40 and it works great, since I don't have a DPF.
Pros: works great
Vehicle:
Citroen C4
for 1.6hdi 2014. i use total Q ineo ECS 5w-30. Reccomended by the factory for engines with DPF.
Pros: reccomended by the factory
Fuchs Titan GT1 5w30.
Vehicle:
BMW
Fuchs is excellent oil, run it in my nismo 370z cause it has specific esters that the cylinder liners need. Don't think it's necessary BMW engines but it is very good quality oil.
Pros: very good quality oil
Vehicle:
Nissan
I use this oil, Total is like recommended by PSA.
Pros: recommended by PSA
I can personally recommend *Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*
Pros: better specifications
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
Using it for 5 years, changing oil avery 8000-10000 kikomiters, enjine souns good (as for disel car)
Pros: enjine souns good
Mileage: 9000 km
Used to work closely with Peugeot and talked to their technicians and customers. Their old Prince engine insists must use Total oil. Nasim (previous owner of Peugeot Malaysia) once used Petronas Syntium and they experienced knocking and oil leak. After using Total, it eliminates the problem entirely.
Pros: eliminates the problem
Cons: knocking and oil leak
Vehicle:
Peugeot
On the other side, cheaper oil and very good spec. overall i see in Total Ineo Long Life Xtra 0W20 in VW 509 specification area, which is also written in my service book for high efficiency oils.
Pros: cheaper oil, very good spec
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
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
