Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has been doing well in my UOAs.
Pros: doing well in UOAs
Fuchs Silkolene. Good stuff.
Pros: good stuff
I've switched to Pennzoil Platinum Pure Plus. It's cheap, it's easy to find, and it's got those nice lubricating additives that our hot-running FA20 motors and Garrett turbos like.
Pros: cheap, easy to find
FA20s show regular positive results with Pennzoil Platinum PurePlus.
Pros: positive results
Vehicle:
Subaru
My 15 S4 has seen 3 oils in <10k miles. The factory fill was Fuchs. Dealer first change was PP Euro and my latest change the other week was with M1. I've run M1 0w40 Euro in my B5 forever and have had 0 issues with it. Saw no reason to not continue running it in the B8.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Mileage: 16093 km
Dark oil is actually a good thing believe it or not. It means that the oil is doing it's job and holding all the contaminants in suspension. In fact if my oil would look clear at the oil change I'd be very concerned and most probably change the brand.
Pros: oil doing its job
Cons: dark oil
I run Pennzoil Platinum in mine (same engine) which is another popular oil. 5w-30 btw.
Pros: popular oil
