Engine oil Mannol or Lucas
Personally I run Lucas oil in mine, not just my current zzr600, but even my older vintage bikes when I had them. It isn’t crazy expensive and is high quality.
Pros: high quality, not expensive
Oi analysis came back and no extra signs of wear... Mannol is great oil just change at 5k and add in oil additive such as ceratec every other change
Pros: no extra signs of wear
Mileage: 8047 km
I've used for the last 20k miles and no problems! Just change at 5k.
Pros: no problems
Mileage: 32186 km
Also been using Mannol. Do 6k oil changes though. Made chain noise on start up. Swapped back to mannol noise gone.
Pros: noise gone
Cons: chain noise on start
Mileage: 6000 km
I've used Mannol for a few years, it's dirt cheap here in the UK and I've never had any issues with it.
Pros: dirt cheap, no issues
Using Mannol since years in Mercedes Diesel and gas engines , also in a BMW Boxer.
Pros: used for years
Vehicle:
Mercedes
I run Lucas in all 3 holes and my bike has been cooler, less noise and shifts smoother than it did when I got it and it had Harley fluids in it.
Pros: cooler, less noise
Onto my third or fourth big bottle of Mannol in a Toyota 2.2d4d and it has never missed a beat.
Pros: never missed a beat
Vehicle:
Toyota
I run Lucas 5w40, it’s more about doing oil changes more often rather than anything else. VW doesn’t have any special materials in the block or heads, it’s just cast iron and aluminum no different than any other.
Pros: doing oil changes often
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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:
BMW
