Hello everyone, I am joining you from France. I saw that there are people here who think a lot about vehicle oils. That's why I am asking for your opinion on oil selection.
My vehicle is a VW Golf Sportsvan with a 1.6TDI CXXB engine and 100,000 km. It is currently reprogrammed and 150 hp. It is the spare vehicle of our house and is mostly used on weekends. The average annual mileage is around 10,000. The region I live in has a mild climate. In fact, if we exclude a few months of 30+ Celsius air temperature in the summer months, the annual average is around 12-13 degrees. I use my vehicle 50% in the city and 50% on the highway. My house is at the entrance of the highway and the vehicle usually gets on the highway 2-3 minutes after starting. I do not have a very calm driving style. According to the service documents, all oil changes were made with ELF 5W-30 at the Volkswagen service before I bought the vehicle. I plan on doing oil changes once a year. From now on, I am thinking of choosing one of the 3 easily accessible oils below. That's why I am asking you about the ideal option that can protect my engine both in cold and hot conditions. Thanks.
