I use 5w30, I used to use Schaeffer but it's too expensive now so I switched to Rotella.

Pros: good alternative

Cons: too expensive

Ik heb Castrol olie gekocht die synthetisch is. Ik heb geen expert maar voor mijn 23 jaar oude Ford Focus neem ik liever het zekere voor het onzekere.

Pros: zekere voor het onzekere

Vehicle: Ford Focus

When I tried it on my MT-07, though, I found a lot of false-neutrals that my bike didn't have before. I drained it out and put Motul back in after about 300 miles.

Cons: false-neutrals

Mileage: 300 km
