Mannol oil

[symonh2000]

I have been using Fuchs Titan Pro C3 in my BMW, and as it is VAG approved also I will start using it in the Golf as well.

It is better to be safe than sorry and Fuchs has a decent reputation.

~£32 for 5 litres

I've been using Mannol 508 509 0W20 for my 2019 GTI PP - bought 20 litres and so far no issues but again do changes at around 8k.
Interesting searching the VLS cases Mannol came up for their DOT4 brake fluid as well.

They seem to have a habit of appearing on that list, as does sister brand Fanfaro.

I have used them in the past and have had no issues (That I am aware of)

However I know that issues caused by oils can take many thousands of miles to become apparent, and for me at least it just isn't worth the risk to your engine just to save a few quid at each oil change.

There are other alternatives that don't cost a huge amount more that would likely be a safer long term bet.

Wasn’t taking any chances Iv got the mannol oil out , I got the millers oil for £47 for 6 L of eBay which I thought was reasonable.

I am away on a trip at the moment but plan to drop the Mannol out when I get back.

It has done almost 5,000 miles since the last change so it is only slightly early anyway.
