Engine oil VALVOLINE or Mannol

Last oil change I put in Valvoline R&P 5W-30. The final 500 miles before the oil change I added Rislone and it changed the color of the oil from light to dark brown. When I got the car it was using a quart in about 2200-2500 miles.

Been reading user anecdotes about R&P for a while now, and it's like 98% positivity among those who reported oil consumption before using R&P and seeing substantial improvement after.

My Miata isn't currently burning an oil at all, but I put R&P in it and I intend to change it every 3k because it makes me sleep well.

I use Mannol 5w40 extreme or elite. Including an oil filter it means that my oil changes cost 25€. That's why I change the oil every 6k kilometers or so.

If I used the Valvaline High Mileage Blend oil (red bottle) it would leak less oil.

Might I suggest Valvoline Restore and Protect. It is magic in a bottle and it's anti wear package is off the charts with oil analysis.

Had een Corsa van 2008 met ketting. Deze begon al vrij snel olie te drinken (liter per 3000km).

Toen kreeg ik het advies om deze olie te kopen van een vriend, daar heb ik probleemloos nog 7 jaar mee gereden.

I noticed that the engine was way smoother (way less vibration) when lightly lugging the gears at 1600 - 1800 rpm on the Valvoline vs the stock oil or Castrol Magnatec. The Valvoline did the same on my 2022 BRZ vs the stock oil and the dealership bulk Magnatec. I also tried Shell oil and the Valvoline is by far the smoothest below 2000 rpm. Almost no oil burnt or evaporated in between oil changes on both cars (less than 100ml per 3k miles) with the Valvoline Advanced.

Prima spul. Jarenlang gebruikt voor mijn getz.

I've tried Castrol, Mannol, Eneos, Petronas, Fuchs, etc, and I've never had issues. Just make sure it's the correct specification code and viscosity, which for your car is PSA B71 2290 at 5W30.

I just found this thread. I have a 2014 Jetta 1.8t with 107k that I bought for my daughter two years ago and it burns through a quart of oil about every month. It dropped cyinder 1 similar to what the other person experienced, but new plugs and ignition coils solved the problem.
