Was hoping C4 would be superior to C2 & C3. To get the higher hths and possibly prolong dpf filter. But not possibly damage the engine. Of course i should just sell the disel car if im worried, but i have this strange fetish for reliable diesel cars.

Nothing regarding C4

Sorry but i have more stupid questions :) My D4-D corolla 1.4l manual recommends 0w-30 C2 engine oil or 5w-30 of unkown ACEA spec. Local dealer told me they would service my car with 5w-30 C3 normally. 1. So instead of using 5w-30 C3 with higher HTHS than C2. Can i use ACEA C4 with LOW saps...

Looks legit engine oil. Saw this on the german forums Fanfaro FF6719 5w30 (C3) https://oil-club.de/wcf/index.php?attachment/14740-2019-02-14-fanfaro-6719-jpg/

I like to shop with the little guys (shops) so i found this oil. https://www.wolflubes.com/en-us/products/passenger-cars/engine-oils/wolf-officialtech-0w30-sp/65646-01 Mannol drained after 4350miles/7000kms No swarf in oil filter or drain plug as usual. No gunks. Wolf officaltech 0w-30 (C2)...

Thanks for the help, i probably check out total. But why 5w30 c3. When 0w-30 C2 is recommended by the manufacturer ?

0w30 c2 FORD: WSS-M2C950-A Vs 5w30 vw504/507 ?

Total 0w-30 c2 (manufacturer rec) Is just under 100$ 5ltrs. https://kemi.is/verslun/oliuvorur-og-smurefni/smurolia-0w-30-quartz-ineo-fde/ it´s FORD: WSS-M2C950-A The fanfaro oil 5w30 c3 is LiquiMoly 0w30 C2 is not far from 200$ https://www.stilling.is/vorulisti/vara/LM2362/

Thanks for the reply. Yes , i have been monitoring the DPF euro6 type with OBD logger. Its impossible to burn soot of this DPF unless the 300-400 mile interval active regen is running or without some DPF additives. The dpf never reaches 500°C / 930°F. It´s only 1.4ltr turbocharged family car...

Correct. I'm hellbent on shopping only with one store here in reykavik. Other stores are selling for example 0w30 liquimoly for little short of 200$ ! So they can fu** off! Prices for castol ,helix etc. Have skyrocket and are also unreasonable. (>140$) I can buy mannol and pemco for around...

Its 4x the price of mannol 0w30...

Now i need to replace oil on my corolla d4-d again :) Mannol 0w-30 is sold out :( . My option is to buy Pemco 332 0w-30 (ACEA C2 or C3) PAO+Esters .. also SCT brand. Same stuff as the Mannol legend extra 0w-30 ? Of course both engine oils have no approvals...

Good friend of mine , machenical engineer and former national champion in car drift was sponsored by local dealer with mannol legend for some time. He told me it was excellent product, so i have been using mannol and fanfaro for a while on all of my cars for a while and the engines have no...

I'm not expert but i had zero issues with mannol using it for severe driving short trips in cold conditions.

Took my old suzuki swift '13 1200cc on 1000km (620miles) road trip through Iceland westfjords the most extreme driving conditions in IS. With lots of 10-15% incline gravel roads high above sea level, roads who can easily rip off the oil pan on car this size. The under powered car was reving very...
