Owner reviews for engine oil

Mannol 5W30 the one with JP at the end

Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 if you like to experiment, will make your bug quieter, but you will discover other noises (like tires, rattles of the trunk cover, gear noise, compressor of aircon).

Best you can do is get your hands on some Restore and protect, 5w30 is fine, 0w20 will get you better fuel economy but a little more wear and obviously 5w40 is the other way round.

Vamos direto ao ponto sobre a troca de óleo 10W40 para 5W40 no motor Renault 1.6 SCe (como os usados em modelos como Logan, Duster, Captur e Sandero):

✅ Potenciais Ganhos com 5W40:

1. Melhor desempenho na partida a frio

– O “5W” significa que o óleo é mais fino a baixas temperaturas, facilitando a circulação e reduzindo o desgaste no momento da partida, especialmente em regiões mais frias.

2. Lubrificação mais rápida e eficaz no arranque

– Menos tempo para o óleo atingir as partes críticas do motor = menor desgaste inicial.

3. Igual proteção em altas temperaturas

– O “40” no final indica que ambos os óleos têm o mesmo comportamento em alta temperatura. Ou seja, o 5W40 protegerá tão bem quanto o 10W40 com o motor quente.

On 0w16 the engine is smoother, more responsive, quieter and consuming about 0.2L to 0.5L less fuel per 100 km.

Use semi synthetic 10w30 replace at 3k kms. As for oil I try different brands from motul, gulf to fanfaro.

Castrol. Bought twice from Amazon. Four litres for £19 the first time, £25 the second. Much cheaper than Halfords.

Think the last oil change I did was with Motul 7-series (fully synthetic) 10w40 because central Italy gets HOT

I've recently switched to Motul because the Castrol pouring spouts seem to have gone away and Motul's also become more available.

Ik heb Mannol (Energy nogwat...) gebruikt, motor werd iets stiller maar verbruikte meer olie. Kan ook aan wat anders liggen, aangezien het een 18 jaar oude auto is. Bij de laatste beurt zag ik natte bougies en witte aanslag.

This is not fine. VW oils like 502, 504, 508 and 511 are not typical oils. They have a different additive package and the viscosity is different, like the extended performance 5w30 is not the same viscosity as a 504 5w30. The 504 is thicker and is closer to a 40w.
