Toyo and Barum are only I would consider from that list.

Nothing American except the Jeeps. Drove in few. Every Euro brand except the very high end brends, most if not all of the Japanese and even Lada. Never been in Kia. Even had a De Tomaso.

C3 is stricter or same to the A3/B4 from wear stand point. At least by the ACEA requirements. Obviously E6 oils are superior to both in diesel applications if DPF system doesn't have inherited problems from factory, like some had. I've used nothing but C2 or C3 in some vehicles (per OEM) and had...

Hi from Rijeka. Millennium is fine PAO based oil with older approvals and additive pack- not necessarily a bad thing. INA makes good oils.

Kyb Gas a Just are great, had them before. They are monotube (at least they were in my application) so a bit harder. Much better than Excel series and that Monroe garbage IMO. Bilstein is in a different league, that is what I use now when I have to service my shocks.

I have to correct myself. Had a friend who is in a business and it seems that PPR pipes are indeed metric - 20mm, 25, 32, 40, etc. Old metal were in inches. Sorry for misinformation., guess I'm getting old.

Over here in NW Croatia most popular would be Shell, Total, ELF, Mobil, Valvoline and in recent years Motul is gaining share - probably overtook some of the older brands in the market. There are other like Repsol, Rowe, INA and some but only at Metro, Bauhaus and similar stores.

Is Toyota Proace Verso available in the USA yet? It is a nice looking people carrier based upon PSA tech (badge engineering) so it will handle, brake, steer and look as normal cars do. I have Peugeot version and absolutely love it.

Ultra have higher OEM approvals and probably cost similar. Not saying that HX7 is a bad lubricant but for the price and performance Ultra is unbeatable. It is probably cheapest FS, high spec oil on the market. For this engine it would be my preferred option.

2002 Nissan Terrano 2,7 Tdi, 245k km,6 k OCI, 11k on filter . Leftovers used, 5lt of Total 5w40 a3b4, 1 litre of Yamaha oem 10w40 outboard that has been 10 years in garage, and some e7 5W30 Urania. Filtron filter (made for MANN Hummel).

Thanks for posting this. I have to say those are some prices. I have just bought Total 5w40 9000 energ, 5 lit jugs for under 25€, Shell Helix 10w40 is under 5 per litre, so is that ELF Evolution. I do like that Total 15w40, that stuff isn't sold over here.

I do on my Terrano 2. This truck is used for off road/overland trips and for that reason I've reduced OCI to only 5k km, from factory 10k km. No point in changing the filter at this rate so I use either MAHLE or Mann- this time I've used Filton (made for MANN Hummel) every 10k.
