Owner reviews for engine oil

Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.

I got better results from signature 5w30 at 11,200 mi than I did from Motorcraft “full synthetic(lies) at 4300mi. So I change my amsoil at 8-10k and my Pennzoil ultra platinum at 7500.

I have a 2012 gmc terrain 2.4l currently at 202k. I’ve used Lucas oil and restore and protect Valvoline oil the last 50k. Still runs like a gem with 177-182-179-175 compression cylinders 1-4. Used to be 155-149-144-168 before I started using both these oils

Shell, better oil and last longer. I use petronas cepat habiss woo minyak walhal jalan sama je balik kerja.

For 2W Motul is best.

After completing the 1000 km run in and going through the first service where I got Cepsa xtar 10w40 oil, the gearbox remained hard, compared to my previous F650 bmw.

Did some digging regarding engine oil and how I could improve my gear shifting experience, engine smoothness and durability and the choice was either Motul 7100 or LiquiMoly Street Race 10w40. Decided on Liqui Molly and definitely I am noticing much smoother gear shifts and maybe even less vibration. I am surprised. The change is definitely noticeable.

Mobil 1 ESPx2 is the right choice here. The regular 0W-20 does not carry the VW 508 00 approval, whereas the ESP one does. It’s a great oil to use!

I don't think you will find anything but Selenia as "approved" but you will find plenty of "meeting specification". I know that meet the -GH2 spec and those are Motul (which I use), Fuchs and Ravenol. But long story short...match the specification designation from a good oil brand and you're golden

I have a 19 xlt. Love it except for the oil issue.

I tried Castrol and was not a fan, found it burned faster than any oil I used.
