Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or PENNZOIL
I have had a much better experience with Pennzoil in Japanese cars. Pennzoil is a bit better.
Used this in my last st till I sold it… had 235,000kms on it and still ran like a champ.
Don’t use royal purple heard so many bad things about how it’s not a good brand anymore, I swapped to penzoil oil plantinum 5/30 and honestly the car feels a lot smoother and sounds a lil less ticki but still I’d recommend anything other than royal purple
One poster said it right; Amsoil is a Multi Level Marketing program and that's why it's so expensive. Yes it's great oil, however, the Penzoil ULTRA Platinum is high in detergents that keep your engine clean. It's made of natural gas, an industry first, and is so pure and clear you can hardly see it on your dipstick.
I always run 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum in mine. I have run other brands, but I have settled on this. Easy to get, often on sale, excellent oil.
Mit Liqui Moly machst du nichts verkehrt. Die Leute machen sich viel zu viel Gedanken um den Hersteller. Erfüllt das Öl die Spezifikationen für dein Fahrzeug und ist vom Hersteller zugelassen? Hast du die Marke schon mal irgendwo gehört? Dann einfach rein damit.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my 2016 Focus ST. It seems to love it. Quieter idle, great gas mileage, drives smoother after a cold start.
Liqui Moly 10w40 MoS2
These are old engines, they were run on garbage oil and only idiots go bragging about this, regarless the old standards included zinc and other additives no longer available today due to environmental protection regulations. Ive had 7 of those classics pre 1990s and all of them got the MoS2 treatment - the engines turn around after 2-3 oil changes. Sparkling clean. Smooth.
The 2.0 liter gas/petrol engine is the weak link here, due mainly to poor piston ring design. We are third owners of a '14 A4 6MT, purchased in mid '17 with 48K miles. We're at 98K miles now, and with 5K engine oil changes using Liqui Moly or Elf/Total fully synthetic, we use a small nominal amount of engine oil between changes.
My 2013 GTI I believe has been running off of 5w-40 since I bought it. Supplied a shop with European 5w-40 and it still ran fine. Now it's winter, 6-12F outside and I just got the oil changed at a local drive and shine to 5W30 full synthetic and the GTI is running like garbage! RPMs are staggering all over when it goes into neutral, instead of 750RPMS it likes 1k to be normal. It just overall feels wrong.
