Engine oil MOTUL or OEM Volkswagen
Prolube is trash used motul and my top speed increased by almost 10 on all gears on my d250
I've been running 8100 Power 5w30 for the last two changes, every 3000 miles, and the aced the initial Blackstone test.
I've been using the x-clean EFE every 3k miles forever now an am tuned on full e85 now for 30k miles besides the factory valve tube seal leaking they fixed at 14k miles once but that's due to 23' errors. Now am thinking did I use the wrong one hahaha but am 30k miles deep in my use never anything oil that the efe in mine.
Using Motul (8100 5w-40 initially then 0W-40) since 8 years in my Honda City '09 and I replace engine oil myself every year. Engine is smooth and gives decent mileage. Never faced any issues
Upping your oil change intervals to 5000kms wouldn't be a bad idea. I use motul 5w40 and haven't had issues
I have a Svartpilen 401 2024 model. I did a 500 km ride recently, I didn't notice any drop in the oil level. In India, the engine oil used for these bikes is Motul 7100 10w50 Fully Synthetic.
Mines a secret inbox me and I'll tell you ..lol
Not a Tiguan thing, but I switched from Castrol to Motul oil and stopped the oil consumption I was having.
I used so many brands
- Motul : okay
Could be the oil and not any problem with the engine itself. In India, these engines come with Motul 7100 full synthetic oil. There have been some discussions on the 390Duke forums and on Reddit that the oil burning issue and high oil consumption is caused by using Motul 7100
