Engine oil Mobil or MOTUL

I wouldn't limit yourself to VW brand oil only if another "approved" oil is cheaper. VW has a document listing which oils meet their spec. I use the MOBIL 1 Esp x2 (it's on the list) since the 5 quart bottles are usually cheap from Walmart.com.

I have been consistently using **Motul 10W40** engine oil in my Yamaha R15 V3 for approximately **20,000 kilometers**, with oil changes performed every **3,000 to 3,500 kilometers**. In my experience, **Motul has outperformed Yamalube** in both **overall engine performance and gear shifting smoothness**.

Been using Motul 7100 on my Meteor for about a year now Noticeably smoother shifts especially on longer rides.

I’ve ran mobil1 5w30 for a few years now with oem filter on my 1990

I use 10w40 also from Mobil 1 high mileage. A lot of our engines will have a tick on start up or once hot, if so with your Motul, switch brands to another top tier on next oil change and see if your engine likes that brand more.

I just hit 250,000 miles on my daily driven '95 M3. I've been using Motul 8100 X-CESS 5w-40 for the past 3 years or so. Prior to that, I was using Castrol Edge Euro 5w-30, which was the BMW factory fill. The Motul often comes out still golden. The Castrol always came out black. Didn't need to do an oil analysis to know which one had fewer metal particles.

I changed oil with 80% Mobil 1 high mileage and 20% Lucas high mileage oil stabilizer in it, did better than just Mobil 1 high mileage 5w20 alone in summer, (very hot temperature).

M1 ESP is arguably the best oil out there. It does not shear fast, doesnt degrade with 5% fuel dilution.

my bmw likes Motul more than liquid moly. also it likes Pennz oil Euro more than LM as well.

If you run Mobil1, yes you will needs lots of extra oil... Mobil 1 doesn’t make the grade.
