Engine oil Castrol or Mannol

Castrol Engine oil

I'm seeing a lot of strife around these comment parts on this post; but I will tell you this: If previous owner used only conventional, you best use conventional for the sake of the rubber seals on the block. If you want to eventually run synthetic after your first rebuild, be my guest, although I would recommend going the sohn adapter at that point, just for extra insurance that what you're doing is good for the engine.

I don't know where you're located, but I've personally ran Castrol GTX oil in all my cars up until now; the only thing is, it's harder and harder to find conventional oil that is of thinner grades. Which isn't a bad thing, because the RX8 needs thicker oil than what's on the oil cap anyway! 5w-30 should be your minimum thickness, but really, it's recommended you go thicker, to like 10w-40 for year-round, and 20w-50 for track days or extremely hot climates. There's this shell oil for diesel that's rated at 15w-40 that I was going to potentially pick up and start using. Yeah your fuel economy is gonna drop a tad, but you're really doing it for the sake of your bearings.

P.S. get an oil catch can that vents to atmosphere if legal in your area. It will save you heaps of headaches down the road ????

Pros: good for bearings, thicker oil recommended
Cons: fuel economy drops

Jelenleg 21 éves Hondába használom a 0w20 Mannol Legend Ultra verziót, aszonta a szerelő, hogy hülye vagyok, csipegetni fogja, tegyek bele vastag olajat - és mutat valami 120 literes hordóra 10w40 felirattal. Nem kértem. Nem csipegeti, 0.5 liter fogy két olajcsere között. 11 olajcsere után mondom ezt, 100.000 kilométer óta használom.

Pros: nem csipegeti
Cons: szerelői vélemény
Vehicle: Honda
Mileage: 100000 km

Én mannol-t raktam a Volvo-mba amikor legutóbb olajat cseréltem. Kifejezetten Volvo specifikus olaj, nem vettem észre, hogy ne szeretné az autó.

Pros: Volvo specifikus
Vehicle: Volvo

Mannol Engine oil

Vagy 10 ève azt rakom az autómba, elötte próbáltam gm gyári olajat, de eszegette, aztán castrolt, de az is fogyogatott, ugyan olyan spec mannolt meg csak annyira eszi ami még normális. Szóval én tudom ajánlani.

Pros: normális olajfogyasztás
Cons: korábbi olajfogyasztás

Mannol is a legit brand. Although not as critically acclaimed like Liquimoly, Rowe, Fuchs, Addinol, or Ravenol. Probably on par with Voltronic.

Pros: legit brand
Cons: not critically acclaimed
