"Oils ain't oils"

[runamuk]

Just a question guys, what are other people using in their MK III 2.0's? I currently use Penrite HPA 15.

I am using mobile in my vr6. what are the reasons why you chose your brand?

Fuchs Titan Super GTO 10-30w here.

[runamuk]

Hey Matty, where do you buy that from? I tried Oxford Spares and they only had the GT stuff and Penrite, so i just got another 5L of the stuff I always use...

[MattyT]

From my mechanic ahaha.

But its stocked at supercheap auto up my way in balcatta.

Im running Penrite 15-60 atm, just did a service change and it seems ok

I use Motul 4100 Power 15W50

[MattyT]

Whats the motul like? Always wanted to give it a go.

[FknDubbin]

Elf Excellium here. I work for Renault and get 5L for $40!!!

Hard to say, its all Ive used in the car. It doesnt foul quickly and maintains good temp while giving the car a flogging Its also very well priced at my local Repco

Ive always usd BP3000, but only because i did an engine 'oil' test using the ball bearingtest & I found that both BP oils & Mobil multigrade were the only oils that kept the ball bearing rolling..others the bearing stopped & started burning/grinding. Also I could follow the grading of the BP products. The worst oil came from Castrol. Bazz

[MattyT]

Ah yes the ball bearing test. I found some article off a wrx forum that had all the common oils tested. All the big ones (mobil1, castrol, shell ultra, etc) all faired dismally. From memory, motul, redline, penrite faired well. Some weird American brand called Royal purple came out way, way ahead though. Accusations of the article being paid for by royal purple caught on like wildfire of course.

[BlackVr6ix]

I've heard that too about royal purple but from everything i've seen it is actually a pretty good oil.

I run Penrite HPR10 in my vr6, but i am thinking of changing oil grades and brands. My workmates at autobarn all swear by motul.

Oils on my list of things to do. Motul seems to be pretty available so it might be the go, just have to source a decent oil filter.
