Engine oil PENNZOIL or MOTUL

2010 Passat B6 with the 2.0T ea888 gen one engine. Different car, same engine. I run Pennzoil euro 0w40 in mine. 6-8k on the oil changes. Engine is quiet and smooth. 136k on it.

Motul 5w40 here.

Motul 5w40

Every 5-7k miles

Just had my first oil analysis with penzoil platinum - black rock said I won’t need a change for around 5k miles with it

I've been running Pennzoil *Ultra* Platinum 5w-30 for the last 15k.

I’ve had M52B25 in my E36. Now I have an E46 coupe with M54B22, I only use Motul 8100 x-cess, 5w40

I use Madza OEM filter with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 every 8,000 km to 10,000 km.

I personally like the Pennzoil over the Idemitsu high moly oil but it's mostly due to being more available in my area.

I do think the Pennzoil is slightly better fuel economy wise and comes out cleaner than the high moly but this is probably a placebo than anything.

Honestly I wouldn't have the guts to run it for that long. I run Pennzoil full synthetic with a Purolator boss filter and I still do changes every 5000 miles.

Pennzoil platinum high mileage full synthetic 5w-30. I work at a Toyota dealership and this is what we use and is recommended. It's flows well and has great wear protection. I used to use mobil 1 but this stuff is 10x better. If you do a little research it shows this stuff performs/flows better then most oils.

For Motul you want xcess not X-clean. X-clean is only for things with direct injection. I would do xcess or t6, ether work in 5w-40. I do both of them with my stage 2.6 IAG block as they recommend. Mostly Motul, but the last change I did was t6 since I could not get motul locally or in a reasonable amount of time.
