I've always used Liqui Moly 5W-40 Leichtlauf, but yesterday I decided to put Motul X-Cess Gen2 5W-40...same quality? less money? I'll test that after 8k km and compare it to liqui
I prefer motul as I’ve used both and motul gives me less oil consumption from burning/passing through rings on my mk3 TT.
I love my Motul Xcess 5W-40, just becoming harder and harder to find.
I pay about that. Quality oil and filters cost money. Many shops price oil changes as a loss leader. Euro oil changes are not sold this way, you pay the true price of the service (roughly $80 in supplies, half an hour of labor). I pay ~$160, But you get quality oil in return.
I made myself the services, and used Motul 7100 10w50, I can feel the gearbox it's smoother.
I change my oil and the filter every 5000km,and my engine is running smooth after 280.000 Kms,with no oil consumption. Use ONLY full synthetic oil. Personally i use Eneos oil.
Here is what IAG recommends
FA2ODIT (91 or 930ct) - Motul 5w30 8100 X-clean EFE, change oil every 2500-3000 miles
Motul 5w-40 8100 X-clean Gen2 may be used in climates where the average ambient temperature is above 80° fahrenheit. It is important to note that the oil used must carry the GM dexos 2 rating.
Been using Eneos & changing it every 4k miles/4 months. Congrats on the WRX
Motul. Always. Held up over 500hp for 2 years zero issues on unopened stock block plus its what almost all tuners recommend.
I used Motul with ester. 15W-50 I think? It was for a 16’ Continental GT. Seemed to work fine.
