Engine oil Mannol or Pentosin

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.

I got my 2018 Sprinter and so have used the Pento HPII in that as well.

I use Mannol 7715 on my 3.0tdi

I use the mannol 5w30, it might be cheap but it's still just as slippy

Pentosin is fine, Mobil 1 is fine, Castrol, whatever. I put Mobil 1 in my racecar but castrol in my daily because it burns oil and I want a heavier weight that I can't find Mobil 1 in. Pentosin or LiquiMoly are good, but don't put too much thought into it.

I use pentosin. Made for vws. Change it every 10k. Good quality filter and you'll be good

I use Pentosin in the e46, which I believe is BMW OEM supplier.

Genuinely speaking, it's actually not bad oil at all. Apparently manufactured in Germany, meets or exceeds the OEM spec for my cars. In my 350Z which likes to drink oil, I change it using Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 but I keep a bottle of this (also 5W-40) in the boot for top ups.

I run Mannol 5w30 for Japanese brands on my 202k km d16

Works fine but I might change to a slightly thicker one

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.
