Engine oil ZIC or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Zic X7 5W30 Gas / Diesel
Mileage: 5000 km
I'm riding a Mio Gear S, and ever since I started using ZIC, the performance has been outstanding. It’s a perfect match for my motorcycle.
Pros: outstanding performance
I use an oil extractor on our 2016 Tiguan, my 2016 A4, and 2023 Arteon. All have done a great job and make an oil change an absolute breeze.
Pros: great job, easy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I’ve been using it as well for nearly 50,000 kms now in my personal car without any issues.
Pros: no issues, good quality
Mileage: 50000 km
ZIC - Dito ako nag stay, ang tahimik sa makina, both matic and manual. Malamig din sa makina.
Pros: tahimik sa makina, malamig
Personal experience ko from 15W40 Delo Gold to Zic 10W40 to 5W30 Full Synthetic sa 1.6L Diesel Accent mas naging responsive & rev happy yung makina sa 5W30 Full Synthetic kahit sa 10W40 kasi na Full Synthetic hindi siya happy parang pigil yung makina & less responsive siya.
Pros: responsive & rev happy
Cons: pigil yung makina
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
Been using Zic on two Hyundais (Tucson, Santa Fe), and ok yung performance niya. Maintained yung cars with fully synthetic, 10k/1 year intervals. Smooth pa rin manakbo ang engine until today.
Pros: smooth engine performance
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
Mileage: 10000 km
My previous MK7 GTI used a quart about every 3K miles from the day it was new until I traded it at 212K.
Pros: high mileage achieved
Cons: oil consumption every 3K
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 341180 km
Just keep the right viscosity oil in it and monitor the oil temp. You might be able to read oil temp from you ECU through the obd port. 120-130C is very ok with good synthetic oil.
I blew up a VW polo with the wrong oil and high oil temps.
Pros: good synthetic oil ok
Cons: wrong oil high temps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Polo
This is not fine. VW oils like 502, 504, 508 and 511 are not typical oils. They have a different additive package and the viscosity is different, like the extended performance 5w30 is not the same viscosity as a 504 5w30. The 504 is thicker and is closer to a 40w.
Pros: different additive package
Cons: viscosity is different
