Owner reviews for engine oil

I usually buy Pennzoil, it's inexpensive and it works. I check the contents first to make sure the oil isn't full of gunk in case someone swapped it. I do oil change every 5k km, which is once every 2-3 months, hence I don't worry much about too much gunk as I flush it out often.

i recommend u buy castrol fully synthetic gtx. Normal price 160-170 but during offer can get as low as 110-130 with free microfiber towel from castrol. Make sure it is shopee mall castrol. I have already bought 3-4 bottles and used it with no issue.

Been using MOPAR MaxPro 5w-30 for oil with no issues.

I have a 2022 kia, i cannot for the life of me get away with paying less than 100$ for an oil change.

Luckily there's a really good take 5 oil change place near me and they're service is so good it makes it worth the price.

I have used Motul and Castrol before and I found the Mobil oil to perform and keep the engine cooler and smoother on my triumph.

That's a good oil. I used it before I switched to 10w-50 Castrol.

this oil is used in a dominar 400 and has been used for roughly 1500km before the highway ride in heavy and light city traffic. my opinion of this oil so far is pros:-

it's very consistent so you know what to expect from it

maintains its smoothness even at higher rpms/ speeds

the engine remains cool on the highways but again this can be attributed to the excellent heat management liquid cooling system of Dominar 400

oil drains can be decently long 4-5k km if the motorcycle Is liquid-cooled( it will still have some life left but hey please change the oil at 5k km)

it's a clean oil, and it has detergents that will keep your engine from having sludge deposits

cons:-

as soon as the engine heats the gear shift experience is a mess, its okay to switch between gears but getting into neutral is hard

higher priced compared to other good brands like total hi perf, but lower than Castrol

also, this is a big one I've heard and read on other motorcycle forums, ester-based oils can be bad for gaskets and seals in the long run.

this oil is kinda bad to use in an air-cooled engine, because this oil evaporates and decreases in level, in an air-cooled engine this will be a mess as this oil from what I can understand and feel was designed to go into a liquid-cooled engine and this does a poor job at transferring and absorbing heat. seen many cases of oil level drop when used in an air/oil cooled motor

most importantly there are a lot of fakes of this oil in the market so to source the genuine one just go to a KTM showroom if your bike uses 10w50

verdict:- good oil for the price, looks fancy with the red colour, does its job well, and will last 5k km easily on a liquid-cooled engine

I am a big fan of amsoil. I purchased a used F150 in 2012 . It had 80,000 miles. The first thing I did was I changed the engine oil, tyranny fluid, and front and rear end lubs to Amsoil. It now has 242,000 miles and just keeps on running.

ACDelco for the first change, and Amsoil since. I can’t tell any difference. Always an OEM PF66 filter

After reading this thread I decided to check the paperwork on my oil change that I got from a dealer last week. All it says is 6 G-E60-020-1B-DSP ENG. OIL Net 7.80 Total 46.80 which I assume means the "6" is the quantity. As far as I can tell, that part number equals VW 508.00 Spec oil. My car is a 2019 1.8L and the label under the hood clearly says 502 or 504 oil is required.
