Engine oil Mannol or FUCHS
Fuchs Titan pro 5w50
Pros: Titan pro
I use the mannol 5w30, it might be cheap but it's still just as slippy
Pros: just as slippy
Cons: might be cheap
Last oil change I've decided to try what my friends run and bought FUCHS GERMANY: TITAN SYN MC 10W-40 and put 2k km on it, I'm pleased, it's nice greasy and cheap
Pros: nice greasy and cheap
Mileage: 2000 km
Been running Fuchs 5W40 lately, N52 with 130k kms
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 130000 km
I use Fuchs Titan SuperSyn 5W-40 - widely considered to be the lowest-consumption oil for the M54 engine, and it's very cheap.
Mann filter.
Pros: lowest-consumption oil, very cheap
Fuchs Titan 5w30
Genuinely speaking, it's actually not bad oil at all. Apparently manufactured in Germany, meets or exceeds the OEM spec for my cars. In my 350Z which likes to drink oil, I change it using Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 but I keep a bottle of this (also 5W-40) in the boot for top ups.
Pros: meets OEM spec
Cons: cars like to drink
Vehicle:
Nissan
I run Mannol 5w30 for Japanese brands on my 202k km d16
Works fine but I might change to a slightly thicker one
Pros: works fine
Cons: might change to thicker
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 202000 km
My experience with oil consumption - 5W30 VW - First oil used by me in this car - 2000km - 200 ml added 5W40 Fuchs Titan Race Pro S - Now in the engine - 1000km - Same level as it was at the revision
Pros: Same level at revision
Cons: 200 ml added
Vehicle:
Seat Leon
Mileage: 1000 km
I've posted my UOAs on TDIClub and BITOG. The factory fill was additive depleted at 5400 miles. The Fuchs 507.00 in the next fill was good for 7-7500 miles. It might have gone longer, but I changed it out in advance of a long trip. Bottom line is that preliminary evidence is that the 507 oils are inadequate for extended OCIs in the 3.0L motor.
Pros: good for 7-7500 miles
Cons: additive depleted at 5400
Mileage: 8694 km
