To be fair to @TiGeo, it's practically free these days, both from FCPEuro and ECSTuning. I don't LOVE sending used oil through the mail, but I've done it. Compared to what I see some BITOG users go through for a few rebates, it's really not all that bad.
All day, every day and twice on Sunday.
Yes! IMO best sleeper oil available at Walmart.
Gets it.
Hyundai is not the Supertech of car brands. Supertech is good.
There are only a few brands still marketed Fully synthetic Oil in Germany standard. For instance, for 0w20:
Ravenol VSE, ECS, DNF, etc. but not VSH and EHS (group iii)
Addinol Premium 508/509 but not the Addinol Economy
Amsoil Signature but not other Amsoils.
Ravenol PAO are as expensive as Amsoil Signature, and I believe they are better but too pricey.
For 0w40, there are more option that are fully synthetic like some lines from Aral, Meguin, Kroons, Ravenol, Addinol, etc.
I have never seen Liquimoly nor Rapsol advertised PAO or fully synthetic oil in Germany. They are both just average oil, not premium.
Rapsol is known to use group III heavily and cheaper.
The surprisingly good but cheap oil is Mannol with true approval from manufacturers like 7715 7730 7722 and contains >25% PAO.
Most of them probably uses cPAO instead of mPAO.

What makes you say that? LM has a lot of approvals. I've been running it in my 2500HD pickup and yamaha 225 SHO outboard. My pickup has 231k miles and have been getting the snot beat of it pulling farm equipment from one location to the other well past it's designed tow rating and it's been 100+ in Texas. Sucker still just won't quit. Actually tuned it to a 91 octane last week and it feels brand new under the hood. I've been driving about 80-100miles a day on it lately helping a buddy for harvest and will do a drain on it. Can say the Molygen, for whatever reason, runs smoother than the Mobile 1 that was in it.
Don't get me wrong. I used whatever brands on sale. Rapsol is known to use heavily group III, but does not mean it is not as good as Mobil 1 or Castrol. Liquimoly is just normal oil like Supertech, Valvoline, or Kirkland.
Approval are often got from simply using known formula from Lubrizol, Infinium, Oronite, or Afton Chem and pay royalty and application fees. All oil are good if they meet certain spec.
Fully synthetic in German standard are not easy to find and that what I meant premium.
