vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or Motorex
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
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 used pennzoil platinum euro blend in my 2014 Veloster turbo for probably 50k+ Atleast with no trouble.
Pros: no trouble, good blend
Vehicle:
Hyundai Veloster
Mileage: 50000 km
I switched to the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, which is made from natural gas and it's probably the best full synthetic oil available now, IMHO
Pros: best full synthetic oil
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Just came across this. Mine is a 2024 w 31 hours. I always used Motorex but I’m trying T6 this time. I use it in all my other off road bikes. In the 2t it’s just the clutch and trans. Also I’m changing it every 10 hrs
I run 5w30 in my 17 tundra, 16 Corolla and soon my 23 4Runner. My Tundra was noticeably quieter after the switch. The Corolla was quieter, but the change was not as dramatic as the 5.7 V8 in the tundra.
Pros: quieter engine
Cons: change not dramatic
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
If you have ever rebuilt an engine that used Pennzoil, you would never use it again. The top of the head will be covered in carbon.
Cons: carbon buildup
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 50000 km
