Pros: no cam issues
Vehicle:

Zic M9 10w40 fully synthetic ako for Honda Click. Changed oil every 2k km. 29k odo and never pa ko binigyan ng problema
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 2000 km
Been using it for several years already and very popular brand na sya ngayon since anak ni Lucio Tan ang distributor.
Use their X7 if you plan to change oil every 6 months. Use X7000 for yearly changes.
Pros: popular brand, longer use
I got my 2018 Sprinter and so have used the Pento HPII in that as well.
Pros: MB certified
Used zic for several years with no issues. This year lang ako nagpalit ng ibang brand since nagmahal na zic dun sa suking auto supply ko.
Pros: no issues experienced
Cons: price increased
I’ve been using zic oil for 6 years now. Ok naman I did not experience any issue.
Pros: no issues experienced
Pentosin is fine, Mobil 1 is fine, Castrol, whatever. I put Mobil 1 in my racecar but castrol in my daily because it burns oil and I want a heavier weight that I can't find Mobil 1 in. Pentosin or LiquiMoly are good, but don't put too much thought into it.
Pros: Pentosin is fine
Vehicle:
BMW
I use pentosin. Made for vws. Change it every 10k. Good quality filter and you'll be good
Pros: good quality filter
Mileage: 10000 km
I use Pentosin in the e46, which I believe is BMW OEM supplier.
Vehicle:
BMW
I bought a 5 Liter Bottle of Pentosin SAE 5W-40 Pento High Performance II Motor Oil from O’Reilly Auto Parts for $50.75. This API SN/CF and ACEA C3 Rated Oil complies with VW-Specification 502 00/505 00/505 01 and is Made in Germany.
Pros: meets VW specifications
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
