Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM BMW
My supra BMW. Engine oil + filter, ATF + pan, 6 sparkplug, coolant flush and change = RM3840. Comparing like this i think yours should be reasonable + yours is in KD ???? i won’t worry for first time service at the shop.
Pros: reasonable price
Vehicle:
BMW
For Pennzoil, I always use the Ultra platinum over the standard platinum. It has been tested to have lower friction and higher addictive content.
Pros: lower friction, higher addictive content
I have had a much better experience with Pennzoil in Japanese cars. Pennzoil is a bit better.
Pros: much better experience, better performance
Don’t use royal purple heard so many bad things about how it’s not a good brand anymore, I swapped to penzoil oil plantinum 5/30 and honestly the car feels a lot smoother and sounds a lil less ticki but still I’d recommend anything other than royal purple
Pros: car feels smoother
Cons: sounds a lil less ticki
One poster said it right; Amsoil is a Multi Level Marketing program and that's why it's so expensive. Yes it's great oil, however, the Penzoil ULTRA Platinum is high in detergents that keep your engine clean. It's made of natural gas, an industry first, and is so pure and clear you can hardly see it on your dipstick.
Pros: high in detergents
Cons: expensive
If done properly, the vacuum works well. I used to do it on my E36 BMW for years. It does suck out pretty much all oil, I checked it by unscrewing the oil pan plug after the oil had been sucked out.
Pros: vacuum works well
Vehicle:
BMW
I always run 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum in mine. I have run other brands, but I have settled on this. Easy to get, often on sale, excellent oil.
Pros: easy to get, excellent oil
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my 2016 Focus ST. It seems to love it. Quieter idle, great gas mileage, drives smoother after a cold start.
Pros: quieter idle, great mileage
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Grab a good quality 0/w20 synthetic. I'm currently using Pennzoil and a Fram filter.
Pros: good quality synthetic
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 120000 km
I tried pennzoil and didn't like it. The engine developed a soft tick after about 3k miles. Went back to Castrol and the tick hasn't returned.
Cons: engine tick
Mileage: 3000 km
