Engine oil IDEMITSU or Total

I can personally recommend *Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*

i am of the mindset of using oil from the region. my GTI is a german car and gets liquimoly, a german oil. my toyota/subaru is Japanese, Idemitsu is a japanese oil (and the oem supplier for Subaru). i have 5w30 in it now.

I've been running Idemitsu oil in the XT and the wife's Crosstrek for the last four and five years and have been happy with it.

You’ll be fine, idemitsu is a bit of a rotary specialist when it comes to fluids

Used to work closely with Peugeot and talked to their technicians and customers. Their old Prince engine insists must use Total oil. Nasim (previous owner of Peugeot Malaysia) once used Petronas Syntium and they experienced knocking and oil leak. After using Total, it eliminates the problem entirely.

On the other side, cheaper oil and very good spec. overall i see in Total Ineo Long Life Xtra 0W20 in VW 509 specification area, which is also written in my service book for high efficiency oils.

I think Idemitsu is the better option if you have access to it. Mostly because it was developed for the rotary engine.

I have been using the oil recommended by the owners manual (the Dutch one at least) for a couple of years now, no issues at all. I use Total Quartz 9000 5W-40.

I like Liqui Moly in my 2011 Jetta tdi but been really impressed with how smooth my car is running on Total quartz and been using that the last few changes. Total Quartz = smooth

Idemitsu to both, because it’s designed and tested on rotaries.
