I've been using PPEuro 0W-40 in my car. I'm actually going to do a change this weekend. Great oil, no consumption, still lubricating, but my OCD is making me keep the numbers easier. I get it from walmart's website all the time. It goes in and out of stock often though. Going to try to stick...

I thought thicker oil doesn't help with oil burning?

I'm liking Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0W40 in my car. Only place you can consistently find it is on Walmart's website. M1 0W40 Euro tends to go on sale more often though. I just tend to stick to one brand and call it a day for consistency.

Great comparison. You gotta do LiquiMoly Leictlaugh(?) 5w-40. Such a huge fan base behind it.

Just did another oil change for the S4. 55K Miles on the ODO, 5K Miles changed, Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0W-40, Mann oil filter. In and out the same. When draining, the oil still felt very lubricious. But gotta stay consistent for my mental sanity.

Ok. Ok sounds good. Good question. It isn't my vehicle, but my girlfriend's. She started working from home and it has barely been driven. Been trying to get her to let me drive it.

I was just about to ask this question. I have a new 2020 4Runner that's been sitting in the garage since COVID came around in March. I did the oil change in 6/20, Drove 200 miles between then and now, now it's seldom used maybe once a month since then. Should I look to change the oil due to...

Heh, I told you so, didn't I?!

True, but argument is that the sediment will get caught by the filter. Now that's assuming the sediment does flow with the oil instead of staying in place while oil passes by it. As for the use, makes sense if all of your work can be done top side. Some vehicles require you to get on the ground...

Ouch. Must be that Jeep quality. Seeing how 1 quart is NOT deemed excessive every 2500 miles is crazy. How can you accept that?

Any 5W-40 on the shelf today will meet those specs. Since you do weekend driving and tracking, totaling 1K miles a year, you'll be fine with any oil that is 0W/5W-40, really. Because you won't be shearing the oil hard enough in 1K miles anyway. Now if you were tracking and daily driving, it'll...

Use whatever is most common and easy for you to get. I've always been a believer of being consistent in everything you do to maintain the results, no matter what it is.

Liqui Moly has always had a cult following in the VW community. Same goes for Motul, as they both heavily advertise to the VW car communities. Nothing wrong with it, but doesn't make it any more superior than the other brands. It's basically more hip to use liquimoly in your VW car, which is...

Those that suggest the oil filter catching everything, do have a point. But the cynic in me will say, the oil filter will only catch the wear metals if the metals do travel with the oil to the filter by the pump, instead of staying suspended in the oil pan swishing and twirling around while oil...
