    Pennzoil Euro 0W40 vs Pennzoil Euro 5w40 - the 5w40 cost twice as much. Is there a good reason?

    Yes- both prices are online prices. It seems the Pennzoil euro 0w40 might be the better oil and also half the price

    Pennzoil Euro 0W40 vs Pennzoil Euro 5w40 - the 5w40 cost twice as much. Is there a good reason?

    I’m not sure Mobil 1ow40 still has the LL 01 approva. I’ve been reading and many of the well informed posters suggest the both of these 0w40s are superior even without the LL 01 I believe

    Pennzoil Euro 0W40 vs Pennzoil Euro 5w40 - the 5w40 cost twice as much. Is there a good reason?

    Just a short question about the two Pennzoil Euros. The 5w40 is $52 for 6 quarts and the 0w40 is about $26 on Walmart for 5 quarts. Most importantly is one oil technically superior than the other ?

    Castrol Euro 0w40 just received is made in Belgium

    Just a little news about a good oil. Castrol Euro 0w40 just arrived from Amazon (purchased at new lowered price of $28.95). It states it is made in Belgium ( and not packaged in USA)- a good sign. It has the MB 229.5 but not the BMW LL 01 approval.

    My Quest For The Best Oil on the Planet

    Very interesting. Do you feel it is as good or better than Castrol Euro 0w40 or other Castrol oils ?

    5w30 or 5w40 (or 0w30) Castrol Edge Euro vs 0w40 euro edge to reduce engine oil consumption in e46

    Hi Edyvw and other thoughtful posters - One of my main questions was would a non 0w40 result in lower oil consumption. Here I believe the answer is probably not - am I reading this correctly? I can accept and would enjoy any rationale. As always, thanks Edyvw and all.

    5w30 or 5w40 (or 0w30) Castrol Edge Euro vs 0w40 euro edge to reduce engine oil consumption in e46

    Hoping the change will lead to reduced oil consumption-my e46 has been losing a good bit of oil while using the Castrol 0w40 euro. I read oil with 30 or less spread might burn off less.

    5w30 or 5w40 (or 0w30) Castrol Edge Euro vs 0w40 euro edge to reduce engine oil consumption in e46

    A little follow up and a question about oil in my e46. Happily after changing the oil filter gasket I’m loosing very little oil after 700 miles. However I have used Castrol Ow40 euro for 10 years plus and always lost a quart of oil every 1000 miles or less. Now it has Pennzoil Euro 0w40 for...

    Mobil 1 Euro 0w40 in a BMW e46 -good idea when without LL-01

    Thank you for your thoughtful post. My mechanic said $800-900. I’m of the same mind as Scott and will skip the oil pan gasket if the car goes back to using 1 quart a 1000 miles I’ve heard the Quaker state is great oil and pretty much Pennzoil euro

    Mobil 1 Euro 0w40 in a BMW e46 -good idea when without LL-01

    Hi Scott and all- A small update- after replacing the oil filter housing gasket and then driving this week 350 miles the car’s oil level changed very little. Keeping my fingers crossed that this keeps up. Car has Pennzoil euro 0w40 right now.
