Owner reviews for engine oil

I live in Turkey vw service uses Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL

I combine that with Pennzoil Platinum as there’s almost always a rebate for it. I paid $12 a jug after rebates for my last batch.

I use Valvoline 0W-20 full synthetic and an OEM filter.

Personally, I use Mobil1 oil in all my "regular" cars, and I often get a discount at O'Reilly when buying 5qts at a time. It's usually around $35 for a 5qt jug. That's pretty cheap.

I just run Motul. 7100/7200 or the 300v.

I have a buddy that used the Shell Rotella diesel oil that is dirt cheap for his 2009 r1.

Years ago I went down the oil rabbit hole and now I recommend motul 7100 4T

Liqui moly is the best stuff in the market! I have been running it in my ST for years. It runs better and has lower oil temps than motorcraft.

Now if you were to get Motul 300V, there would be a real difference there. Higher end “boutique” oils have additives, such as esters that will build up a film on moving parts over time, adding a layer of protection if for some reason you were to lose oiling to that part.

I used some castrol 5w50 at my last race. Oil temps saw like 270F.
