Owner reviews for engine oil

In the end I went with the spec - RAVENOL VMP SAE 5W-30

Motul 300V 15W-50 In my "circle" it is used up to 1200+ HP.

0-40 M1 Euro. Stage 1.

It was the cheapest I could fine locally. I was looking for Penzoil 5-40, but could not find the Platium Euro I was looking for at the time. The M1 is known to be on the thinner side, and I am in Cali so that works. It is also known to keep things super clean inside the motor.

our jiffy lube locations use total quartz ineo long life 0w20 which meets vw 508/09 specs. definitely use the vw recommended oil it has all the additives it needs especially with keeping those euro engines clean and less burn off at high temp.

Take liquimoly for instance, they only have certain oils that meet the VW 508 00 spec but many of their oils are the same weight. None of which will cause your engine to explode if you use them.

stick with vw 508/509. Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w-20 is like $27 at walmart and is 508/509.... Also, 508/509 has a tracer in it so if you need engine warranty work and they drain the oil, they'll be able to tell.

I have a 2007 Explorer with 161,000 miles on it. Just recently switched from Castrol to Valvoline Restore and Protect. I'm not sure why I haven't heard of it sooner, but from what I've heard, it's really good at removing sludge and varnish that forms in high mileage engines.

Maintenance, that’s what I’m focusing on rn so far ive done oil and coolant, went with amsoil and Nissan blue

Legit. Worst case scenario it doesn't do anything, but I've seen some improvement in my Cadillac ELR. Engine is quieter and lots of sludge was removed. But fwiw lots still remains and the varnish is basically untouched.

I blew up my first motor at the track on Motul.
