Engine oil Mannol or ZIC
okay naman ang Zic, which variant will you be using? Sa office namin halos lahat ng sasakyan, trucks and forklifts included, Zic X6000 ang gamit namin in the last 5 years, never had an issue with it
Pros: no issues in 5 years
I am using this exact oil at the moment and have no complaints.

As an additional word of advice. Do not use Mannol 5w30 C3 oil when doing oil changes. Use a high quality oil- castrol,shells, millers.. these cars are very sensitive to oil
Pros: high quality oil
Cons: Mannol oil thins out
I've never had any issue with standard Mannol - my cars have always had it every 5k and I'm pleased with the results.

VW recommends 505.01 for fixed service at 15k Km or 507.00 for flexible service at 30k Km. Since our driving condition is harsh, I usually cut those Km in half. Since you were pushing 505.01 at 12k I would recommend you use 507.00 5W30 LongLife for 15k to 18k to be on the safe zone especially if your runs are on highways. I’d highly recommend you check oil from Mannol 507.00, I’ve been using them and they are solid choice. It costs under 3.5k for 5L. You can fill 4.4L at change of oil and top up 200ml at 4,8 and 12k interval
Pros: Mannol 507.00 solid choice, use 507.00 5W30 LongLife
Cons: driving condition is harsh
I tried 10W40 in my car as 5W40 was beyond my budget at the time and it's been great.
Pros: great performance
I'm using mannol extreme 5 W 40, very good price quality.
Pros: very good price quality
