Owner reviews for engine oil

I swear by penz ultra platinum/euro platinum in my cars. Really good anti wear additive package in that stuff.

Liqui moly for me runs about 4-5 degrees lower than OEM for my GTI. not sure if the same temp diff exists for the R but I did some reading on this. Perfectly normal.

First oil change at 15,000 kms. Went for Ravenol, it’s made in Germany and seemed like a superior choice.

I would recommend a hybrid crv, great gas mileage, reliable, plenty of room in the back as well as cargo. I had a 2022 crv exl before trading it in for an EV, only maintenance I did over 25k miles was oil changes, tire rotations, changed wiper blades and repaired a tire leak. Absolutely loved it but traded it in because charging EV is cheaper and has less maintenance.

selber fahr ich nur auf Liqui Moly

Bin da Markenopfer.

Auch was additive angeht.

Nur Liqui Moly

I run Valvoline Restore and Protect. It may be overkill, but I change it every 4-5,000 miles.

I've recently started using Motul 7100 10w40. Actually I'm due for my first change and should get under it today. It's the only pull I've ever used that actually made a noticable difference in operation. The esters bond and quiet the motor to a noticable audible level. It's designed for motorcycles though and with the unique properties of this ester based oil, I'm taking a chance with carbon build up, but the protection at higher rpms it provides gives me confidence under those conditions, which is where carbon is best loosened at too. Supposedly this burns fairly clean for a synthetic, but IDK. I'm changing at 3k miles to see how it looks. May or may not extend it out, but has felt great so far in this 135k mile motor.

I had an 03 Camry from new till 2019. Had 335,000 miles when I sold it. That car got Rotella T6 5w40 since new. I still wonder how long that car would have lasted if I kept it.

Using Mannol for my diesel.

Why do Audi’s burn through so much oil? One thing I don’t miss about my 2019 Q7 is the constant adding quarters of oil throughout the year.
