Seems this will start changing mindset for thin oil can not meet new engine durability standard. The stated Jaguar land Rover is similar with BMW Longlife 14FE+ so almost as universal as it get for tough OE thin oil standard.

Seems a robust oil shown on mobil UK and Germany website, certified for: Volkswagen (Benzin / Diesel) 508 00 / 509 00 Porsche C20 MB-Approval 229.71 Jaguar Land Rover STJLR.51.5122 meeting A1/B1,SN Still wonder how can get those delivered cheap

Originally Posted by Elgouyo Hello! Yes it is based on API 0w-20 and ACEA C5 with more requirements. VW 508 / BMW LL is Long Life, provided it is used with low sulfur fuel, because with ACEA C standards, TBN is lower than with ACEA A/B oils. HTHS is 2.6-2.9. It is mid-saps oil ~0.8%. TBN should...

I am wondering if anyone can elaborate these new standards in simple term such as min HTHS, long drain, saps content, min. Viscosity, etc.? My understanding mostly similar to C5 but not sure what is the difference BMW LL14FE+ VW 508 VOLVO RBSO-2AE JLR 51.5122 Porsche C20 Thank you

I think Honda has admitted the fuel dilution mostly happen during winter time where the engine does not heat up the oil pan enough to evaporate all the fuel diluted in the oil. So if you are not short tripper then the problem should not be severe

The oe fine wire is working well as ngk or denso, however bosch ceramic as not as good, i have one bosch that broke the ceramic and one that failed to spark in less than a year.. denso and ngk is more durable as long as you dont get counterfeit

So what is oil tempeeatue difference after you change the oil weight from 30-weight to 40-weight/50-weight?

The Russian website mentioned the content is Tungsten+ organic moly where the mechanism is to react with ZDDP in the oil to form protection layer. Seems pass the bandit test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlsp3zX5oE0&vl=en

IMO based on experience Ultra is more lasting before breaking down compared to PP, but it just cause LSPI on DI engine. For non-DI I believe PU is still the ultimate oil to use. In the past I ever question why PU caused ping on slightly burning oil engine even though the NOACK was one of the...

It seems for thin oil to protect better, the use of MoDTc give better result than ester FM. Time to look into VoA and off the shelf additive ?

It seems only OEM offering long drain interval, wonder if really OEM Subaru Lineartronic or High Torque CVT is better on protection and durability as well?

In my mind, elantra is jack of all trade, not too shabby but not impressive beside the interior space. Cruze may have good chassis even though reliability may not be the forte. Honda typically has firm short suspension, so this may or may not be liked depending on the preference, but seems you...

Thank you demarpaint, this getting interesting. i believe the tungsten used may not be on ws2 form due to there is no shake the bottle instruction like their LM MoS2 additive. However the green tinge reminds me on MoS2 comment on out of suspension from one popular member that uploaded the...

The oil filter is meant to be changed every oil change, so should not worry with the size except you run non standard 20k miles OCI

Some digging on WS2 vs MoS2 Seems promising, i just notice I can drive about half an hour and the oil temp will remain at 93-95 C. So seems the additive is much more effective than old Motor protect. Will still need to evaluate during full OCI and my second tank mileage. ws2 vs mos2

hm oil contains seal sweller, the other one doesnt
