Engine oil MOTUL or ROWE

Have you given the Motul Specific 502.00/505.00/505.01 a try? I switched to it years ago on my mk5 rabbit (140k miles or so over the past 5.5 years across 3 cars) with excellent results. It is a mid SAPS oil like the x-clean as well.

Cost me 62 dollars using motul xcess 8100 5w40 and took 15 minutes start to finish.

much to my surprise, the motor has not burned a drop of oil in the first 50,000 miles (I change the oil every 5000 miles).

I've used Motul in my Golfs for years, good stuff.

Sounds like you already have your answer, but yes, the Motul 8100 X-Cess is a good oil, probably better than their VW specific oil.

Been using Motul on my 3.2 for the past two oil changes. Haven't had any issues.

I had use both and i have driven more miles without needing to refill with motul. But motul > mobil one

I always ran the Motul Grand Prix in my shifter, I never had any engine problems. Still run it in my dirt bike, I love the smell of it, too.

I use MOTUL for my oil.

When I changed to full ester Motul in my motorbike, there was a noticeable reduction in the time it took for the startup rattles to quieten down.
