Engine oil Pentosin or OEM FORD

OEM FORD Engine oil

My Ford Freestyle with a 3.0L takes 6 quarts, while my Pontiac Grand Prix with a supercharged 3.8L takes 4.3 quarts. Go figure. I was shocked when I saw how much oil the Ford takes.

Vehicle: Ford Freestyle

Pentosin Engine oil

Pentosin is fine, Mobil 1 is fine, Castrol, whatever. I put Mobil 1 in my racecar but castrol in my daily because it burns oil and I want a heavier weight that I can't find Mobil 1 in. Pentosin or LiquiMoly are good, but don't put too much thought into it.

Pros: Pentosin is fine
Vehicle: BMW

On a side note, if anyone really wants to see what their oil change interval should be, just get an actual oil sample analysis done. Per the lab reports, I can get 8k miles on quality synthetics and still have a good safe margin for oil life.

Pros: good safe margin
Mileage: 12875 km

OEM FORD Engine oil

I red-line 1st and 2nd gear when merging onto highways from the on-ramp. But then cruise at 100 kmph on the right lane. Gotta have fun when you can! Ensure that **oil** temps are good, not just the coolant.

Pros: fun when merging

I have a 98 TDI with 269k and I had an 06 TDI with 131k. I have dumped the unfiltered engine oil after each change into the tanks of both cars since I've had them (Beetle, 98, got at 230,880 miles). They burn fine.

Pros: burn fine
Mileage: 269000 km
