Owner reviews for engine oil

I use the mannol 5w30, it might be cheap but it's still just as slippy

Amsoil did pretty good, it beat out everyone else from that project farm oil series.

Since you're in Europe, go get Meguin Super Leichtlauf 5W40 for your next change. It's just rebranded fully synthetic Liqui Moly oil, since Meguin handles production for Liqui Moly. Hands down best oil for pre-OPF engines and only 6€ per Liter.

So, the cause for VANOS to work as shit was an oil. I put Motul and engine drunk it like it was a water. After oil change to Castrol magnatec, engine works like a charm.

I used to run the 10w-40 Valvoline high mileage synthetic blend from Walmart.

Last oil change I've decided to try what my friends run and bought FUCHS GERMANY: TITAN SYN MC 10W-40 and put 2k km on it, I'm pleased, it's nice greasy and cheap

Motul 8100 x-clean 5W40 seems to be the sweet spot, all of my friends drive it in EA113/EA888 engines.

I use 15W-40 Liqui Moly Touring High Tech mineral oil. The filter you buy from BMW is made by Mahle so I would suggest that.

I use liquidmoli on my 13’. Have for the past 4 changes every 10k miles. Been great so far!

As much as I love to use Mobil One, I am going to stick with Castrol because VW dealership won't give me any credit for the Castrol in exchange for the Mobil one.
