Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM BMW

BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.

Pennzoil because it runs about 20°F colder for me.

Pennzoil. I've run conventional, semi synthetic, and full synthetic. Nearly 200k miles, still kicking like a mule. 7500 mile oil changes on the reg, some to 9000. No signs of slowing down.

Pennzoil ultra platinum often goes on sale or has rebates, I'll stock up a couple years supply when it does.

0W-30 VW 504 spec Penzoil Euro Platinum is all I use in my MK7.5.

Pennzoil has been pretty good to me. Not pushy.

I have a 16 with 110k miles and have consistently ran 5w-30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum with no issues.

Pennzoil Platinum can be found for $26/5qt. and it’s certified to protect against LSPI. I’d suggest going that route if you’re trying to save some cash. I did and the car seems to love it.

I run Penzoil Euro Platinum 5W-40 because it's regularly on sale at Canadian Tire.

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.
