vs
Engine oil PETRONAS or Lucas
Lorry uses diesel engine, your car uses diesel engine as long as it is the right viscosity your car will be fine. What matters more is you are using genuine Petronas engine oil and not fake oil.
Pros: genuine Petronas engine oil
Cons: fake oil
Vehicle:
BMW
Eu uso na minha moto o Petronas Sprinta 20w50 SL Jaso MA2 que é uma evolução do Jaso MA. É muito bom e não custa caro.
Pros: muito bom, não caro
Petronas Selenia 5w30 é o único que eu usei no meu carro até hoje, trocando de 5 em 5 mil km. É o que está no manual do carro. 66mil km até hoje (10 anos de carro, rodo pouco) e não tenho nada o que falar, cumpre o papel.
Pros: cumpre o papel
Mileage: 66000 km
I changed from Petronas Synthium 3000 to this and I can assure there was obv improvement in smoothness especially when going above 110km/h.
Pros: improvement in smoothness
Petronas is a pure virgin oil.
Great for UAE road and climate.
I personally use Petronas oil or petromin oil.
Great performance and good mileage getting.
Pros: great performance, good mileage
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
As a 2015 Abarth 595 owner here in the UK I tried Petronas Syntec and have to say the little fella seemed to like it.
Pros: engine liked it
I paid $67 for 4 qts of lucas full synthetic oil and a filter on Amazon and just grabbed an O ring from harley. Harley's oil is fucking garbage. Lucas, Amsoil, Motul & Mobil 1 full synthetic are all damn fine products.
Pros: damn fine products
Cons: Harley's oil is garbage
My mechanic added a bunch of Lucas to the oil, which he said might at least quiet it down, and it did. It's quieter now, but I can still hear it at idle.
Pros: quieter engine knock
Cons: still audible at idle
I run Lucas 5w40, it’s more about doing oil changes more often rather than anything else. VW doesn’t have any special materials in the block or heads, it’s just cast iron and aluminum no different than any other.
Pros: doing oil changes often
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I used the middle one on an old 200,000KM Porsche Cayman S that was burning oil. It made it worse, smoke started coming out of the engine when the oil cap was off and I felt like the engine would soon die.
Cons: made it worse, smoke
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
Mileage: 200000 km
