Engine oil Mobil or LIQUI MOLY
I've put over half a million on four different vehicles, several hundred thousand on a few others, all running Mobil One.
If I could only have one oil for all my vehicles it would be Mobil1 0w-40 because it meets all the stringent European requirements and has been shown to have a cleaning effect on dirty engines.
I order the right price point of liquimoly because it burns less vs other brands, in my experience
Mobil 1, best all around protection. Especially under high heat/Cold conditions. Been running is forever in my cars
So I’m in the U.K. and I just had my car serviced it’s an x4M, the reccomend is BMW or Castrol Edge, I went for Mobil 1 0w-30. For some reason not sure if it’s the oil my fuel economy has gone up by 100 miles per tank
Liqui Moly TopTec 4100 is good and cheap. Castrol oil is, indeed, not worth the money.
I currently use Liqui Moly 5w-40 in my 02 WRX and it loves it.
Mobil1 especially the ESP 5W30, it has certifications from major manufacturers such as MB229, BMW LL, and importantly Porsche C30 certified which is the most strict out there... Also can't be helped that I own a Peugeot which happens to recommend Mobil 1 as well...
12 years running and no major issues so far on the unreliable-ass Prince EP6 Engine.
I like this oil, I believe it was Castrol Syntec from the factory (says so on the oil cap) but it became slightly hard to find and the Liqui Moly has been great oil so whatever. I changed my oil last year at about 9500mi and it didn't even get dark until about 7k miles.
My wife drove her 2008 Passat 2 miles per day for six years. As you can imagine, during these very short drives in winter, the oil became diluted - this was born from sever UOAs. So, I changed the oil every 1,500 miles and the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Over-kill perhaps but based upon my personal expectations, worth the time and money. We used Mobil 1 0W40....which sheared to a 0W30 fairly quickly and stabilized.
