Engine oil Mannol or IDEMITSU
Last service, I put 8.5L of Mannol 7908 in my e320 cdi. No issues so far
Pros: no issues so far
Part number: 7908
As long as the oil meets the BMW longlife-04 specification it will be fine.
I use Mannol 5w30 premium which has BMW LL-04 on the back of the bottle.
I have a Sohn kit and run Idemitsu engine oil in the engine and Idemitsu premix in the Sohn. Runs lovely and smooth and the original cat is still doing the job.
Pros: runs lovely and smooth
Vehicle:
Mazda
We use Idemitsu for engine oil and transmission and red line for front and rear diff. Red line makes a good fluid for the transmission also.
Any oil that meets the manufacturer's specification for your car will be fine. Mannoil 5W30 fully synthetic meets VW 502.00 and ebay sell 5L for about £17 - why pay more?
Pros: meets VW 502.00
Definitely better well known brands out there for cheaper prices. Look at Mannol oil. Mannol served me well.
Pros: served me well
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
I use Mannol. 5l of the stuff in 5w-35 retails at about £20 on eBay which is a damn good price.
Pros: damn good price
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I've always had good luck with manol oils.
Pros: good luck
Ik heb Mannol (Energy nogwat...) gebruikt, motor werd iets stiller maar verbruikte meer olie. Kan ook aan wat anders liggen, aangezien het een 18 jaar oude auto is. Bij de laatste beurt zag ik natte bougies en witte aanslag.
Pros: motor werd iets stiller
Cons: verbruikte meer olie
Mannol is cheap for a reason as you never know what you will get in a bottle.
Cons: cheap, non-compliant products
