Engine oil FUCHS or Total

Dark oil is actually a good thing believe it or not. It means that the oil is doing it's job and holding all the contaminants in suspension. In fact if my oil would look clear at the oil change I'd be very concerned and most probably change the brand.

i had previously been using Total Energy 9000 5-40 and had been running it for 2 seasons .i would change out the filter after 1 year and top it up with approx. 3/4 qt of fresh oil. i don't drive a whole lot and had only put on about 9,500 miles in that time. i just switched back to Castrol Edge 5-40 this week.

i switched from Castrol Syntec 5/40 to Total(ELF) 5/40--it's good stuff,long drain formula,too.their website says you can safely run it for 2 years before changing it out

Total 5w40 took care of me to 8k with a 3071R. The oil is pretty decent stuff and not terribly expensive. I like their gear lube in my boxes. I run it in everything from my MKIV/B5 to my 07 Impreza 2.5i

Total 10w30. Don't burn a drop. Stage II.

i changed mine @62k miles with similar results. i to change my oil around 5k and was useing m1 0w-40, but just recently started useing fuchs titan oils.

I use that stuff on a daily basis, I get boxes and boxes of total oil, its great stuff, I'm using it in my ABA as well

I have been running this oil for the past 2 oil changes and its all good! Excellent product since it has been around for ages and it is euro After i drained my oil at 7500k's (4660miles) you could still see through the oil....any other synthetic i have had you could not do that.

I used to use mobil1 5w30 for 2 or 3 oil changes then switch to Total 5w40 full syn and it burns way less. I think I burn a whole quart every 3 or 4k using 5w30 but with Total 5w40 I burnt probably hald that.
