Engine oil Mobil or Castrol
Mobil1 5W50 removed the hla ticking in my 2.0 in Germany. Many say, it's snake oil, but it worked
I used Mobil 1 for 20+years but now I’m using liquid moly because it’s pretty much free with fcp
Its perfectly fine. More likely their vehicle fitment data for your car is wrong, not you. I use Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy in my NX, and used it for years in my previous RX.
My Mazda3 which I service myself now, Castrol edge 5w-30 and feels happier. Same engine too.
I always used blue "german" coolant in my e90 bmw oddly it also recommended Castrol oil. Specifically called for it in oil cap
i drive 85% freeway so i change the oil and oil filter every 7500 miles using Castrol Edge 0W-20 synthetic oil since 2017 no vehicle issue.
I do 20k miles oil change interval on my RAV4. I use Mobile 1 extended performance and Fram Ultra filter. No problem at all
I use Mobil 1 ESP X2.
Available at Walmart.
It is approved by Mercedes and VW, it also meets the BMW requirement but is not approved by them.
I have used Castrol and it seems fine.
I recently changed the oil in a diesel Passat (150,000 kms) which had Castrol Edge put in 12,000 kms ago during the last service by a VW dealer. I have changed many oils in VW diesels and found the Castrol oil that came out to be the dirtiest, sticky, staining and sort of gritty oil ever.
