Engine oil PENNZOIL or ELF
My car runs full synthetic, no additives. I find a 2.0 engine oil filter mount swap(from cartridge to screw on), royal purple filter, and penzoil ultra/platinum are an amazing combination.
Pros: amazing combination
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I use Pennzoil Ultra 5W-40 European formula in both of my GTI's and use only oem filters (which are very good btw).
Pros: very good filters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I currently use ELF Exellium NF, Motul is good too I was tempted to get it....you can also check out ECS Tuning, they sell Lubro Molly now, I think that's gonna be my next choice and I might stick with it. I've used Amsoil for about 20K miles and liked it too. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with Castrol Syntec 5w40 either, I've used it since new all the way till 60K miles.
Pros: liked it
Mileage: 32187 km
That is my personal favorite so far. Use or burn less than anything else I have tried, and I swear the engine sounds quieter. Previously used Castrol, Amsoil, Mobil 1.
Pros: engine sounds quieter, less burn
I used ELF Excellium NF 5W40.
Mileage: 9000 km
I personnally use Elf and love it, best oil I ever used so far.
Pros: best oil ever, love it
ok i just did an oil change today. i put in Elf Excellium 10W50 Full Synthetic. anyways, the difference is awesome. much more free reving and "wanting to go faster" feeling. before oil change it felt tired and revs were lazy and engine had a 'fuzzy' sound when accelerating. anyways, all is good now
Pros: much more free reving
Cons: engine felt tired
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B3
I use Elf, I switched over and won't go back.
Pros: won't go back
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Just started using it in my '03 3.0 (90K service). Elf 0W30. Notice a substantial increase in mileage! Hate the price, though...$13.95/litre CDN! And at 6.5 litres for the change...well, you get the picture.
Pros: increase in mileage
Cons: high price
Mileage: 90000 km
That's just it.... I bet his iron levels were quite high on m1, just like everyone else is seeing.... which is why I switched to Elf.
Cons: high iron levels
