Engine oil Mannol or ELF
I am using this exact oil at the moment and have no complaints.
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Land Rover Freelander
As an additional word of advice. Do not use Mannol 5w30 C3 oil when doing oil changes. Use a high quality oil- castrol,shells, millers.. these cars are very sensitive to oil
Pros: high quality oil
Cons: Mannol oil thins out
I've never had any issue with standard Mannol - my cars have always had it every 5k and I'm pleased with the results.
Pros: pleased with results
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayenne
Mileage: 5000 km
My Skoda gets fresh mannol every 12 months. No problems so far. It meets the VAG spec so all fine in my opinion.
Pros: no problems so far
Vehicle:
Skoda Superb
VW recommends 505.01 for fixed service at 15k Km or 507.00 for flexible service at 30k Km. Since our driving condition is harsh, I usually cut those Km in half. Since you were pushing 505.01 at 12k I would recommend you use 507.00 5W30 LongLife for 15k to 18k to be on the safe zone especially if your runs are on highways. I’d highly recommend you check oil from Mannol 507.00, I’ve been using them and they are solid choice. It costs under 3.5k for 5L. You can fill 4.4L at change of oil and top up 200ml at 4,8 and 12k interval
Pros: Mannol 507.00 solid choice, use 507.00 5W30 LongLife
Cons: driving condition is harsh
I'm using mannol extreme 5 W 40, very good price quality.
Pros: very good price quality
Öl von Mannol (mein Favorit) 10l 5w40 35€

Ulje mannol 5w30 tdi. Isto ulje ja koristim za svoj audi. Tak da bitan je servisni interval pa mo\u017ee i srednje kvalitete ulje.
Cons: srednje kvalitete ulje
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 8000 km
Mannol is a legit brand. Although not as critically acclaimed like Liquimoly, Rowe, Fuchs, Addinol, or Ravenol. Probably on par with Voltronic.
Pros: legit brand
Cons: not critically acclaimed
Motorban próbáltam, azzal olyan volt a váltó, mint amikor a Motul már cserés volt. Részemről inkább nem.
Cons: rossz váltó érzés
