vs
Engine oil Mannol or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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.
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
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
My previous MK7 GTI used a quart about every 3K miles from the day it was new until I traded it at 212K.
Pros: high mileage achieved
Cons: oil consumption every 3K
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 341180 km
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
Using the incorrect oil can cause damage and will definately void your warranty. Call the closest dealership and buy the oil for this oil change.
Cons: can cause damage, void warranty
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
