Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM BMW
My 13 Ram 5.7, use only 5w20 penz ultra plat, with lubeguard biotech and boss oil filter. I have the truck tuned, turned off the cyl deactivation since it had 30k miles, zero tick. But, I feel the oil pump makes more difference for the hemi tick issue. My truck has a good oil pump, 60s and 70 psi on freeway and startup.
Pros: zero tick, good oil pressure
Ultra platinum 5w20, in the summer when I’m towing my boat a lot I’ll use 5w30 ultra platinum. That’s about it. The key thing is oil changes every 5k, do not do the 10k oil change interval
Pros: good for towing
2014 1500 with no tick (85k miles). New to me truck and I’m running Pennzoil ultra 5w20 with a Royal purple filter. I might switch to the redline but the PUP was more accessible to me. In theory I live somewhere it could be super cold this time of year but it hasn’t. Depending on when I do my next oil change I might do the 5w30 if it’s going to be hot for awhile.
Edit to say that 5k oil changes for me max. I did my first one at 4k because I didn’t know what the engine had in it and wanted to get something good
Pros: no tick, accessible oil
Mileage: 85000 km
I use Penzoil Ultra platinum 5w20 and a Mobil 1 filter. No issues so far, but I'm just closing in on 100k miles.
Pros: no issues so far
Mileage: 100000 km
Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum 5w20. Good deals on it ordering from Walmart and usually free next day delivery.
Wix 57060 filter
Pros: good deals, free delivery
Part number: 57060
I am tuned in WI and running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30
Vehicle:
Subaru
Fuck Mobil 1. Get you some penzoil ultra platinum or better yet some amsoil. They’re both miles better than Mobil 1. I used to use Mobil before switching to penzoil. The difference was noticeable
Pros: noticeable difference, miles better
I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.
Pros: check oil level
Cons: vehicles burn oil
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 3000 km
I use Full Synthetic ( Pennzoil Platinum). At 24K I really can't even tell the engine is running when I come to a stop, its just that smooth and quiet.
Pros: engine smooth and quiet
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 38624 km
Pennsoil Platinum High Mileage 0W20. It seems to run best on it, at least among the wal mart oils.
Pros: run best
