Another one where Mannol print Dexos 1 Gen 3 on the label but at the Dexos approved site I cant find Mannol at all.
Would you continue using Mannol?

How do you know it holds 'some standards' or what they are? I guess you could fill the bottles with cooking oil and claim the same thing, I'd rather have that in the engine than no oil at all.
Seriously guys, can we stop posting nonsense like this please? It's just a waste of time
It has approvals from API, and some manufacturers such as VW 504/507, BMWs, Bens, etc. Just do not buy non approved oil. Just like Kirkland and Supertech oil are often as good as more expensive brands. It is often just marketing that drives the price up.
But I agree, many Mannol lines up only say Recommended for:..., I won't take it. Especielly with stupid type of additives like Ceramic lines.
It does not say anything about approval. Only RECOMMENDED, that I won't bother with. Get the one with wording APRROVED or Freigabe.Another one where Mannol print Dexos 1 Gen 3 on the label but at the Dexos approved site I cant find Mannol at all.
I used Mannol for years and has no issue with oil consumption even after more than 100k miles in Toyotas.

Each to their own, I'll just spend a fraction more for a product from a more reputable company. They've been caught out more than once.

It's also been brought up on some forums frequented by non-Americans that Mannol is commonly fraudulent oil in Europe. Fraudulent in that the Mannol oil has been swapped out for dirt cheap oil.

I should have said Fraudulent as in it's not even Mannol in the bottles.

Even more reason to pay a tiny bit more for something decent. Claiming that your products including brake fluid meets specifications that they don't is also fraudulent.

Based on what I read here the entire Mannol product line is low quality swill. I wouldn't use their products to rinse a funnel.

Only 6 of the Mannol has a API Licensing. If it is so superior as you think why isnt all of them licensed and why does they dont have legit manufacturer approvals on all of the oils ?
From API License list:
[td]MN7114 Mannol TS-14 UHPD[/td][td]15W-40[/td][td]CK-4[/td][td]CI-4 PLUS[/td]
[td]MN7511 Mannol Energy[/td][td]5W-30[/td][td]SP[/td][td]SN PLUS[/td]
[td]MN7906 Mannol Energy Ultra JP[/td][td]5W-20[/td][td]SP[/td][td]SN PLUS[/td]

Take a look at the American Petroleum Institute and show us the ILSAC GF6 certificate.
Its just printed on the jug but no actual certificate exist what I can see.
Gotcha. It “meets/exceeds” and isn’t formally approved. I’d still use it on a car out of warranty. I won’t use hpl on my new car for the same reason. I doubt I’d ever have an oil related failure but don’t wanna tangle with a manufacturer if I did.

Because they've got past form making misleading claims, missing ingredients, brake fluid that doesn't meet specs from what I've been led to believe. I've never been impressed with it, and it seems to get burnt at a much higher rate than better quality oils, even in my lawnmower!
