vs
Engine oil Mannol or ELF
ok i just did an oil change today. i put in Elf Excellium 10W50 Full Synthetic. anyways, the difference is awesome. much more free reving and "wanting to go faster" feeling. before oil change it felt tired and revs were lazy and engine had a 'fuzzy' sound when accelerating. anyways, all is good now
Pros: much more free reving
Cons: engine felt tired
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B3
I use Elf, I switched over and won't go back.
Pros: won't go back
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Just started using it in my '03 3.0 (90K service). Elf 0W30. Notice a substantial increase in mileage! Hate the price, though...$13.95/litre CDN! And at 6.5 litres for the change...well, you get the picture.
Pros: increase in mileage
Cons: high price
Mileage: 90000 km
That's just it.... I bet his iron levels were quite high on m1, just like everyone else is seeing.... which is why I switched to Elf.
Cons: high iron levels
i use the Elf Excellium DID 505.01-spec 5W40 in my non pd-tdi. no problems either.
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I've been using the Elf 505.01 oil. I used the Motul oil the 1st oil change. I like the Elf better from what I hear.
Pros: like the Elf better
