Owner reviews for engine oil

when i went from liquimoly to motul i saw a 10° jump in oil temps. went back to liquimoly and temps dropped back down

I’m from saudi and the owner’s manual recommends 0w20 or 5w30, never mentioned 0w16 despite that the engine is the same (A25A-FKS). Im using mobil 5w30 btw

At around 4000km I did a break in oil change and switched over to liquimoly and noticed my oil regularly stays at 90-95C and only goes to 104 if driven hard.

I use 5w30 ESP Mobil 1, has the 507 grade spec and gets on sale at Canadian tire pretty frequently

I have a 2015 golf tdi and have had good luck with Mobil 1 ESP.

I want to say it was 7 quarts of synthetic (N54), and if I was buying I used either BMW branded oil or Liqui Moly (at the recommendation of my friendly local BMW centric indy mechanic)

I pay about that. Quality oil and filters cost money. Many shops price oil changes as a loss leader. Euro oil changes are not sold this way, you pay the true price of the service (roughly $80 in supplies, half an hour of labor). I pay ~$160, But you get quality oil in return.

Full synthetic all the way, worth the extra cost. I’m trying out the new vavoline oil rn

My wife's truck recommends 5w-20. Burns it like a mfer though. I run 10w-40 in it and have for several years. Still going strong. 01 f150. Do with that what you will.

I’ve used Shaffer’s and now ENEOS and T6 when it was the in thing and I can’t really tell a huge difference.
