Engine oil MOTUL or OEM Subaru
Getting 30mpgs in my ‘14 and been running 5w30 for years, smoother and quieter
No issues with 5w-30. Switched my 21 Crosstrek to it due to the summer months coming. Little dip in mpg but the engine runs smoother.
Either way I have the impression that the engine has a smoother sound and feel now, can this be possibile or it's just a placebo ?
I use Motul 5100 been running for 8k miles with no issues and smooth shifting.
I've been using motul 300v for the last 5k kms, inclined to use the same in the next oil change or will switch to motul 7100.
I've been using this oil on my '17 BMW S1000R (5W40 weight) right after I got the first oil change from the dealership at 1K KM. Bike now has 25K KM and still running like new. Nothing wrong about seals, runs great and shifts have always been buttery smooth. I don't baby the bike, and change the oil once a year since I only do about 3K KM per year. When flushing, it's still red, a tiny bit darker than when I put it in. To me, this an excellent oil and it is much, much cheaper than the OEM BMW one, and it is JASO MA2 specs.
i have a bajaj 200NS and was given same reason in 2015. i didnt pursued furthur and got Motul as it is much better engine oil than crap they use. 33k km later, no issue and i get it serviced outside.
Anyhow, BMWs are arctic tested and the mega aluminum blocks can contract to -50C and can still safely start with 0W40. So the key is 7000-10000 kms but mandatory 0w4- or a 5w30 Liqui Molly or Fuchs or motul BEFORE WINTER.
I’ve (mostly) only used Motul in my scooters. Only destroyed two engines and the oil wasn’t to blame. (I was.)
I was using Mobil1 ESP 5w30 in my 530i XDrive.
I tried Motul but the oil consumption was bigger with the Motul.
