vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or Lucas
Both oils are very good as long as they meet the 502.00 VW specifications. I'm in FL and I use 5w-40 pennzoil euro for all my turbo VWs.
Pros: oils are very good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I paid $67 for 4 qts of lucas full synthetic oil and a filter on Amazon and just grabbed an O ring from harley. Harley's oil is fucking garbage. Lucas, Amsoil, Motul & Mobil 1 full synthetic are all damn fine products.
Pros: damn fine products
Cons: Harley's oil is garbage
I used lucas in my honda and will use it on my next change for harley
Pros: will use again
Vehicle:
Honda
Liquimoly 4210 0w-30 or pennzoil platinum euro lx 0w-30 are the two best imo. I have heard from some other mk8 owners that Pennzoil drops engine temps by 8-20 degrees F so thats what goes in mine.
Pros: drops engine temps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Personally I run Lucas oil in mine, not just my current zzr600, but even my older vintage bikes when I had them. It isn’t crazy expensive and is high quality.
Pros: high quality, not expensive
As long as you get name brand oil at the weight your owner manual says you'll be good, I run penzoil in mine and she seems pretty happy with it
Pros: seems pretty happy
Finally ended up with Penzoil Plat. Can't tell a difference at all when the oil is fresh. Also engine never burned oil on Penz.
Pros: engine never burned oil
Cons: no difference when fresh
Vehicle:
Lexus IS
I have been running Pennzoil platinum euro in my 16 GTI its entire life and its now at 125,000km. I ran the same oil in my 2007 GTI before I sold it up until 190,000km. Never had a single problem, neither cars burned any oil.
Pros: no problems, no oil burning
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 125000 km
Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40. It’s LL01 approved
Pros: LL01 approved
I would run Castrol over Pennzoil. Coming from personal experience, Pennzoil is junk.
Cons: Pennzoil is junk
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
