Engine oil Mannol or ROWE

ITS A LOT THICK! than other brands of the same weight.. but when you abuse the vehicle it gets smooth like butter. I like them if I plan to aggressively dune bash.

I use Rowe as well and it's fantastic. No complains so far

I use rowe on all my cars, amazing oil but it’s more expensive

I've used Rowe, no complaints

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.

I used both rowe 5w30 507.00 and the OEM VW HIGH PERFORMENCE 0w30 (yes 0w30) 507.00

I didnt notice any difference between the two . Wear on my oil analysis was about the same with both oils.
