Oil filter LIQUI MOLY or Castrol
Reviews
$65-75 for 5 quarts of liqui moly and a filter. I do oil changes myself cause they are too easy not to and I don\u2019t trust anyone.
Pros: easy to do
Cons: don't trust anyone
I use Pennzoil 0W-30 Euro Platinum, and a Castrol CAS3593 filter every time, and change my oil every 6000kms which is about 3728 miles. I have heard good things about the efficiency of the Castrol filters.
Pros: good efficiency
Mileage: 6000 km
Part number: CAS3593
Use full synthetic Mobil one or Castrol Change every 7k miles. And the oil filter too.
Pros: full synthetic recommended
Mileage: 7000 km
Yes, Castrol gtx and a KN oil filter
Liquimoly is more expensive, sure, but that’s what I buy. Comes in a nice little kit with a filter and I know I don’t have anything to worry about.
Pros: comes in kit
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Buy an OEM filter and the top spec Castrol/your chosen top tier brand.
Pros: top spec
Vehicle:
Honda
I change my oil filter every oil change n my advanced synthetic oil liqui moly last 9K
Pros: liqui moly lasts
Mileage: 9000 km
I used Liquimoly 5w-30 when I was NA, and still use liquimoly 5w-50 since boost. A little pricey ($120) for 10qts but worth it. Oil filter, just a ford performance filter. Pretty much any auto store will have them or a comparable brand in stock. When I was NA I’d do oil changes every 3k miles or sooner depending on how hard I drove it. Now with boost the max I go is 2k miles. Normally 1k-1.5k since I drive it hard and run e85.
Pros: worth the price
Cons: pricey
I have religiously changed the oil and oil filter every 5k miles with Liqui Moly TopTec 4200 (with VW spec).
Pros: religiously changed oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 71000 km
Buy Castrol Edge and the long-life filter from Walmart for best engine protection.
Pros: best engine protection
