Engine oil PENNZOIL or FUCHS
Am bagat si eu Fuchs intr-un 3.0tdi si in romania 1L e 60 de lei cam asa dar pe [Ebay.de](http://Ebay.de) e 35 de lei litrul la fel si Aral, ciudat de ieftin. Motorul merge cam cu 10'C mai putin la ulri fata de castrol(se ducea si la 119'C pe autostrada)
Pros: Motorul merge mai putin
Cons: ulei scump in Romania
Penzoil the best!
Pros: the best
Vehicle:
Saab
I use Pennzoil platinum euro because its dirt cheap from walmart and meets all specs. 135,xxx kms so far on the same oil.
Pros: dirt cheap, meets specs
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 135000 km
Best bang for your buck is the ultra premium penzoil 0w 20. Meets the api certification and in terms of performance it essentially provides the same level of performance as the amsoil.
Pros: meets api certification
I run Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30. My FK8 is making over 500hp no issues
Pros: no issues, high performance
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
For the money, Pennzoil can't be beat, and I say that considering you can usually get it from Napa or Amazon around $7/qt. Idemitsu is also great, but hovers around $8 or $9/qt on Amazon or Napa.
Pros: great value for money
Cons: Amsoil better protection
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W 30 gas to liquid base oil construct $26 for 5 quarts at Walmart or Amazon and is perfect for EJFA engines. People running 0w20 in these fbs and fas and ejs are just destroying their engine. I run the 5W30 pencil Ultra Platinum. I would get the mow tool but it's just really not worth it. I changed my oil every 2,000 mi and the gas to liquid technology. Making your base stock backwards from natural gas gives perfect polymeric structure and their additive package. It's just smoking! I can get three 5 quart bottles for for $75 on subscribe and save from Amazon delivered plus tax. I think the 5W30s The Sweet spot. Unless you're tracking it then I'd go up to the 0w 40 in the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. But you have to realize that the same company that makes the base stock oil out of natural gas also owns the additive package company and they run a a 48 Esther ad pack in this and it's just tremendous oil. If I had higher mileage I'd be running. Probably Valvoline 5W30 restore and protect it. Cleans the ringlands, wrist pins, valve train etc. But since I changed my oil so frequently, I always stay with the pennsville Ultra Platinum. I don't think you can be eat it at $0.16 per ounce it's just bulletproof to thermal oxidation.
Pros: perfect polymeric structure
Mileage: 2000 km
2013 Volvo XC 90. Owned since new, only used Penzoil Euro L formulation, all synthetic, 10W-30 and 143K miles later I had to get rid of her because I left the country. No engine issues at all.
Pros: no engine issues
Vehicle:
Volvo
Mileage: 230000 km
I've posted my UOAs on TDIClub and BITOG. The factory fill was additive depleted at 5400 miles. The Fuchs 507.00 in the next fill was good for 7-7500 miles. It might have gone longer, but I changed it out in advance of a long trip. Bottom line is that preliminary evidence is that the 507 oils are inadequate for extended OCIs in the 3.0L motor.
Pros: good for 7-7500 miles
Cons: additive depleted at 5400
Mileage: 8694 km
Also when using thinner oils you should probably use a higher quality oil like penzoil or valvoline since they tend to have extra anti wear additives as oppose to garbage like mobile oil
Pros: extra anti wear additives
Cons: garbage like mobile oil
