Use whatever oil that has the BMW longlife 01 certification. Castrol Edge Euro is a good option. I use pricier Liqui Moly, 0w40 or 5w40.
I would and have used Mobil 1 0w20 or 0w30 in my CX 5 . During the first 36k miles ,I used Idemitsu 0w20 and a Mazda filter . After the warranty period ,I used Mobil 1 ,mostly because the Idemitsu price went way up. I may be wrong ,but I believe that Idemitsu is the Mazda branded engine oil . 5000k mile intervals .
Uso Mobil 20w50 mineral na minha Tenere 250. Tá indo pros 100 mil km já, desses, uso o Mobil a uns 80 mil km. Usava na minha Yes tbm, mais de 60 mil km e tudo certo
Eu uso o mobil, mas vc pode usar o motul. Veja a especificação do óleo. O motul e o mobil são caros. O o Ipiranga e o Shell são mais em conta. O lubrax não recomendo. Por experiência melhor mesmo os dois que falei, motul e Mobil
Pá, uso óleo da VW ou LiquiMoly. O da VW é mais barato (ainda da última revisão comprei-o a €38/5L), é fabricado pela Shell. Eu usaria só óleos aprovados pelo fabricante. Verifica que o óleo atinja ou exceda os critérios por quem desenhou o motor
I was freaked out when I switched oil to MOBIL1 truck and SUV, and noticed the red used oil. Its relieving to see others on this post with the same thing.
i've been using mobil 1 european formula for last 10 years (e85, e89, e53, e84) and never had any engine failure :)
I’ve only done oil changes at a euro Indy shop for $250 a pop. Liquid Moly
I am burning around 0.75qt every 2k KM (1200 miles). I've also tried all the vw508 different oils hoping for a better outcome (vw brand oil, liqui moly 6200, motul specific 508) but no change really. at this point i live with it but always carry around a spare 1-2qt if you are travelling far away in the back.
I tried Mobil 1 in a Vortec 5.7. That engine did not use oil using Castrol or even Walmart dino oil. IT did use a quart at 1000 miles using 15-40 maybe it was 15-50 Mobil 1.
