I use Motul in my built engine (not IAG) per the recommendation of the shop that built it.
If it’s actually an IAG long block, they spec Motul 8100 X-CESS 5W-40 (or an equivalent high quality 5W-40 full synthetic) because their bearing clearances are set up for that weight, not the thinner OEM oil.
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
Motul is a good oil but i stuck with the OEM stuff when i replaced my clutch
I recently switched from the stock Royal Enfield engine oil to Motul 10W40 fully synthetic. The bike feels noticeably smoother and cleaner.
During all my oil changes, I\u2019ve taken a sample and sent off to Blackstone for analysis.\n\nEven after 12k miles, there\u2019s still enough TBN left that I could have continued using it out to 15k miles.\n\nDissolved metals and other elements were still within universal engine norms so it wasn\u2019t like the sample was abnormally contaminated.
Pero nag stay ako sa motul since 2019.
General rule of thumb for mqb cars is if it\u2019s stock, run stock spec oil. If it\u2019s tuned run 5w40. Personally we run Motul 8100 xcess gen 2 5w40 in 3/4 cars.
Mannol is a legit brand. Although not as critically acclaimed like Liquimoly, Rowe, Fuchs, Addinol, or Ravenol. Probably on par with Voltronic.
Motorban próbáltam, azzal olyan volt a váltó, mint amikor a Motul már cserés volt. Részemről inkább nem.
