Engine oil Mobil or RED LINE
Recently started using in my 2002 M3 and the oil runs cooler compared to the "twin power" oem oil i had been using.
I have been using Mobile 1 in my 2002 X5 3.0 and my 2001 Z3 2.5i forever. Both vehicles have about 185,000 miles each with no major repairs.
My sprinter is deleted so I'm running 0w40 European car formula.
Mobil One 0w-40 is a great oil for these cars
I've used 7100 Motul forever... and I switched to Mobile 1 and im happy with my choice. Both 10w 40.
Castrol. Valvoline. Mobil1. Supertec. Kirkland Signature. All oils my 2016 CX-9 has had. Now has near 100k miles and runs as nice as the day I bought it. Just change the oil and filter every 5k miles and use full synthetic.
Redline 10w30 full synthetic if I know I'm going to beat the piss out of it for the next 5k miles (think autocross or mountain runs), otherwise I use Honda 10w30 full synthetic.
Mobil1…been running it for a decade ap1 supercharged S2K…flawless
I usend to run syn 15w50 in my tired old vr6 all year round, it helped with seeping issues, lifter noise and all if that. but the oil pressure would be through the roof during first start. so I'd set aside a few mins in the morning to let the car idle, relax, listen to a song and let it get some heat in it. on a normal day, the star up pressure would be .5 bar past the filter bypass (10 bar), warm idle was 2 and a bit, and everything above 3.5k was back to the bypass.
I've tested both those oils, and was not impressed with the results. Both oils still needed changing at 5k.
