I’ve switched to Pennzoil and I’ve noticed I went from burning about ~1 quart between 5k mile changes to barely burning anything. It seems like my motor is a little happier with it based on it not making such a racket but that might just be confirmation bias
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.
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.
I'm using Motul Specific RN 0729 on my Megane 4 (2017) with DPF
I have used 7100 10w40 in hornet 2.0 .recommend was 10w30
Bike is smoother compared to honda synthetic oil.
But the only issue is there was rpm fluctuats between 2k to 2.5k rpm, till the engine heats like 2 to 5 minutes after starting the engine
People seem to like Motul 7100 as a high performance option.
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
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.
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.
Been using the Motul 7100 4t.. My 390 is flawless till now even after 38k kms.
