vs
Engine oil Mannol or ELF
It's run fine on Mannol with over 25k miles so far.
Pros: run fine
Mileage: 40233 km
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
You can 5L of compliant Mannol for less than £20.
Pros: compliant with specification
Cons: cheapest
Daj probajte jednom u životu mannol ulje i maknite se od preplacenih marki ulja. Tocim mannol vec 5 godina i barem znaš da nisi kupio krivotvoreno ulje ili castrol proizveden za tursku i žnj zemlje prosvercan u lijepu našu.
Pros: znas da nisi kupio krivotvoreno ulje
Cons: preplacenih marki ulja
OP I have the same car and engine as you, I've been using the cheap Mannol stuff, whichever is cheapest. Also whichever the cheapest oil filter is from ECP at the time. Car is currently on 120k and I've been doing this for at least 5 years and it hasn't eaten itself yet!
Pros: cheap, engine still running
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Mileage: 120000 km
You can actually get decent quality oil which is not from an expensive brand for pretty cheap, particularly if you buy a 20l jug.
For example, Mannol offer fully synthetic oils which meet OEM specifications
Pros: decent quality, meets specifications
Cons: not expensive brand
Vehicle:
Mercedes
Been using Mannol 5w30 Full Synthetic for past 35k miles now without any issues.
Pros: no issues
Mileage: 56327 km
For the UK, cheap and good: Mannol Fully Bi-Synthetic Engine Oil Longlife 3 5w30
The car runs well, no problems starting up, no significant oil burning.
Pros: car runs well
Cons: no oil burning
Personally I use 5w-30 because it's the cheapest. I've used 0w-20 and 0w-30 in the car also. Can't tell what is in the car at any given time as it runs exactly the same regardless so just use the cheapest that's still up to the relevant specifications.
Pros: cheapest, up to specifications
Cons: no difference felt
Vehicle:
Honda
Von der Marke Mannol würde ich Abstand halten, da gab es gerade in letzter Zeit [Ungereimtheiten](https://oil-club.de/index.php?thread/3702-mannol-hersteller-thread/&pageNo=19)
Cons: Ungereimtheiten in letzter Zeit
Vehicle:
