#Motul xcess vs xclean wrx free#
her dad is a mechanic so she gets free oil changes but where he works doesnt have rotella on tap or else i would probably just use that aswell.

My wifes honda pilot says 5w20 on the cap and i couldnt ever see anyone ever putting oil that thin into a car that isnt some sort of purpose built engine that isnt in a daily driver. we drive them like so, and you will want the thicker/heavier oil to withstand the heat and the poundings. the 40 weight that everyone uses is because we beat on our cars. Subaru recommends 5w30 because they assume everyone abides by the law and does the speed limit and doesnt give it more than 50% throttle.basically manufacturers think we all drive like grannies. mind you i know a few people with 207's and still running rotella t6 and they have no complaints. BMW had few years back TIS that LL01 proved to be much more suitable for N63 engines in Europe, than. Primary decision behind this is that different markets have different exploitation requirements. I'm a little disappointed by the fact that OAI only tested the TBN using the D4739 protocol because Motul used the D2896 protocol to get a TBN of 7.8. One can use LL)1 or LL01FE or LL-17FE etc. I was quite surprised to see the Molybdenum in this oil as Motul doesn't often make use of any moly at all, but it makes sense given the EFE designation. All BMW new engines are approved for LL01 and FE oils. So i switched to motul for my 8k revving ej207 at the recommendation of my tuner. All of the recent BMW's require LL01FE or LL-17FE.

It meets the VW502 00 - 505 01 standards, requiring low volatility.CA57. "ya sure rotella is a great oil, but its manufactured as a diesel oil, and find me a diesel that revs over 5k" This 100 percent synthetic oil is designed for both gas and diesel engines.

i only switched because of one sentence someone i respect and trust told me.
