Engine oil PENNZOIL or Motorcraft
Reviews
Any LL-01 5W-40 is technically suitable and approved. I use Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 in the N55 and previously used it in a B58 540i. There are other options as well.
Pros: suitable and approved
Try Pennzoil Ultra Platinum next, I have used it in my WRX and I'm super happy with it. It literally makes my engine run quieter.
Pros: engine run quieter
Vehicle:
Subaru
I use Pennzoil in my cars because it won project farm's oil showdown.
Pros: won project farm's showdown
Vehicle:
Volvo S40
Pennzoil Platinum Euro is one of the best oils available as far as NOACK is concerned. It meets most if not all European car manufacturers specs and is the factory fill in Fiat/Alfa engines.
Pros: best oils available, meets European specs
Tie between Royal Purple or Pennzoil, choice usually based on availability or sales. I might slightly favor Pennzoil due to its connection with Shell as I exclusively use Shell 93 fuel for the additives.
Pros: connection with Shell fuel
Vehicle:
Acura ILX
My engine is happy with Pennzoil Platinum. No leaks and minimal oil consumption.
Pros: no leaks, minimal consumption
While any oil can work for your car, the current best option in the market is Pennzoil Ultra.
Pros: best option
I combine that with Pennzoil Platinum as there’s almost always a rebate for it. I paid $12 a jug after rebates for my last batch.
Pros: rebate available
I personally like using pennzoil euro platinum 5w-40 in my Mk7.
Pros: personally like
Vehicle:

I've run Pennzoil Ultra in 5W-30 for the past 4 years and never had a problem.
