Engine oil Mannol or Lucas
I bought oil last year for 22€ for 10l and I use the HiFlo filter with RC on it. Oil is from Mannol. Full synthetic, what do I need more? All the oil company’s always tell you that they are the best, but they don’t even tell you what the difference with their own oil is. Let alone how they are better then the others.
Pros: cheap, full synthetic
Been using Mannol 0w-20 fully synthetic for 3+ years now for my Jazz, engine is smooth, almost all the time I felt the car would always glide and it cruises easily, fuel consumption is great as well as long you are light footed. Mileage is now at 300000km (oil did not reduce at all within that 10000km service interval)
Pros: engine smooth, cruises easily
Cons: light footed required
Vehicle:
Honda Jazz
Mileage: 300000 km
It's run fine on Mannol with over 25k miles so far.
Pros: run fine
Mileage: 40233 km
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
Right now I have some Lucas High Performance, but the brand is relatively immaterial to me. As long as it's a reputable brand and it meets the spec in the manual.
Pros: meets manual spec
Cons: brand relatively immaterial
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
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
I used the middle one on an old 200,000KM Porsche Cayman S that was burning oil. It made it worse, smoke started coming out of the engine when the oil cap was off and I felt like the engine would soon die.
Cons: made it worse, smoke
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
Mileage: 200000 km
