Engine oil Mannol or ELF

It's run fine on Mannol with over 25k miles so far.

I've been putting 10w-40 ELF 70 STI regular oil in my 1.6 petrol from '98 for 3 years now with no issues.

You can 5L of compliant Mannol for less than £20.

Daj probajte jednom u životu mannol ulje i maknite se od preplacenih marki ulja. Tocim mannol vec 5 godina i barem znaš da nisi kupio krivotvoreno ulje ili castrol proizveden za tursku i žnj zemlje prosvercan u lijepu našu.

OP I have the same car and engine as you, I've been using the cheap Mannol stuff, whichever is cheapest. Also whichever the cheapest oil filter is from ECP at the time. Car is currently on 120k and I've been doing this for at least 5 years and it hasn't eaten itself yet!

You can actually get decent quality oil which is not from an expensive brand for pretty cheap, particularly if you buy a 20l jug.

For example, Mannol offer fully synthetic oils which meet OEM specifications

Been using Mannol 5w30 Full Synthetic for past 35k miles now without any issues.

For the UK, cheap and good: Mannol Fully Bi-Synthetic Engine Oil Longlife 3 5w30

The car runs well, no problems starting up, no significant oil burning.

Personally I use 5w-30 because it's the cheapest. I've used 0w-20 and 0w-30 in the car also. Can't tell what is in the car at any given time as it runs exactly the same regardless so just use the cheapest that's still up to the relevant specifications.

Von der Marke Mannol würde ich Abstand halten, da gab es gerade in letzter Zeit [Ungereimtheiten](https://oil-club.de/index.php?thread/3702-mannol-hersteller-thread/&pageNo=19)
