Owner reviews for engine oil

go for Ravenol VMO SAE 5W-40.

Shell high mileage oil.

Hola en mi experiencia podrías ponerle el siguiente aceite 5W20 ya sea de Castrol, Quake, o Bizol.

I have that engine in my car and I've been obsessed about finding the best lubricant from day 1 of purchase... it seems like in general most engines in the 2000-2014 era, but especially om642, like a thicker oil, 5w40-0w40, with ravenol vmo being the only oil in there that had incredibly low metals in it by far, even at a 10-15k km oil sampling.

yo te diria q te fueras por un castrol edge 5w30

Mk7.5 GTI 2019, bought new and ran 0W-20 for the first couple years for warranty (approx 70k) and then switched to Liqui Moly Top Tech 4200 / 5W-30.

I'm curently at 134k and no issues, I'm switching to the leichtlauf 5w-40 on my next service for the extra protection and because I can get it a few dollars cheaper than the Top Tech 4200.

Que tal mi amigo, yo tengo exactamente el mismo carro un Mazda 2 2012 lo que podes hacer es leer el manual porque depende del clima del lugar donde lo vas a conducir (en este caso es Guatemala) segun el manual en la tabla API tenes que hecharle 10w30 yo ese uso, yo le hecho Castrol 10w30 full sintetico y cero problemas.

For the money, Pennzoil can't be beat, and I say that considering you can usually get it from Napa or Amazon around $7/qt. Idemitsu is also great, but hovers around $8 or $9/qt on Amazon or Napa.

Currently have Ravenol EFE 0w-16 in and have use Pennzoil Platinum, Eneos, and Idemitsu IFG7. I noticed bit of emulsified oil on the dipstick especially when I run in EV mode mostly. So definitely get it out on the highway on a daily basis if possible and get a used oil analysis. I have had 3 done and all three showed various 0w-16 oils shear down out of grade and their Flashpoints decrease.

when they were done my GLI it felt GREAT driving it home until me engine oil sky rocketed to 238 degrees…never seen oil that hot in my life and majorrrrrr lag…i thought it was done. put my hazards on pulled over got it towed back to my house then i started it back up and it was running just fine.
