Owner reviews for engine oil

I have always run Liqui-Moly Longtime High-Tech 5W-30 (blue bottle) in my 2008 NCV3 144" Sprinter in San Diego.

My sprinter is deleted so I'm running 0w40 European car formula.

On my mk2 I used Liquimoly, Ravenol and now Castrol. No issues with any of them. I switched to Castrol because Liquimoly became a bit too expensive this year.

Hey! I had two Octavias with the 1.6 TDI: the mk2 (I sold it) and the mk3 (the current one). Personally, I prefer Castrol Edge 5W-30. On the mk2 I once used Ravenol and the engine was a bit noisier compared to when I used Castrol.

I have a 2019 golf r and I run liquid moly 5w-40 ever since I got it 2yrs ago and never had a problem..

In Paraguay best race brands are Motul and Liqui Moly, I choose 10w40 Liqui with Ceratec for my 2000 wrx.

Phattbotti tuning has done oil sample tests in multiple oils and he says Rotella T6 5w-40 is the best bang for the buck.

Motul has been phenomenal for me

I’ve tested a few Liqui Moly mixtures and so far my favorite has actually been the Molygen though it’s not recommended it does meet their LL04 standard. Special Tec is a viable option as well and recommended by BMW. I’d say either is a great option for the longevity of the engine. I’ve had my car for 50k KM (20K Miles roughly) and I’ve had no issues whatsoever so far!

Rotella T5, since the T6 is a bit too expensive for a car that leaks. Also a purolator pure one filter. I am up in Northwest NJ. I change it when the HLAs get noisy. It was 4500 miles for the last one.
