Engine oil PENNZOIL or AMSOIL
Pennzoil platinum high mileage full synthetic 5w-30. I work at a Toyota dealership and this is what we use and is recommended. It's flows well and has great wear protection. I used to use mobil 1 but this stuff is 10x better. If you do a little research it shows this stuff performs/flows better then most oils.
Pennzoil euro platinum LX 0W30 is the only readily available one that has the fiat/API approvals for the engine, advance auto usually has in stock at most locations.
If you only daily and don't run hot, hard, or do lots of WOTs; then just use Honda or other quality oil that you are comfortable with. If you push it harder and want to spend money, use something better like Amsoil Signature (my choice), Royal Purple, or Motul.
I run Amsoil signature blend and filters. Expensive but I believe in it.
I'm partial to Pennzoil Platinum Ultra 5w-30 based on UOA's at Bitog and other internet sources...
I only use amsoil in my gti...would never use n e thing else in my car
I’ve personally ran amsoil in all of my vehicles, and haven’t been disappointed
Ran fine when I got it but I switched to amsoil and it has changed the sound of cold starts. MUCH QUIETER!! and seems to have smoothed out the idle over time.
I run Amsoil 5w40 warmer temps and Ravenol 5w30 colder temps.
I’m using penz plat though I’ve only had my oil changed once (3500 on my OD) but so far so good. My oil temp stays around the 200 mark once fully warmed up and has been running very smoothly.
