From what can be seen after cut-open, Purflux, Knecht, Bosch, Mann are among best designed and having stout filtering media I used them many times before Now on Alco filter I can hear vvt-i rattle more often on acceleration, could be because of filter limiting oil flow

All that low or mid saps buzz is about protecting dpf from oil leaking into exhaust If your engine eats hardly the oil or dpf is absent, use full saps with no worries MB calls for mid saps 0.8% so 1.0% is almost perfect

Hi there Have got almost the same engine but 1.3l and 2007 Give her full saps oil and it will do for 15000 kms as the manual says Look for quality filter and change it every time oil is changed If shifting gears gets worse change trans oil, 75w80 gl4 for french cars will do

Look there: http://www.oil-club.ru/forum/topic/18120-ravenol-vst-5w-40/page-1

You can try 5w30 with acea c3 or it's derivatives : dexos 2 or Mb 229.51/52 or vw 504/507 This what they get on the other side of Atlantic

Fiat specs have nothing to do with Ferrari. These are completely different engines. All EU oil selectors say 5w40 so go for it.

Have you got dpf? Cleaning it out requires extra fuel to be injected and eventually burned in dpf. It also causes high oil level. Typical for city driving.

I'll bet XOM asked a question: how much worth is your time wasted on oil change 2x a year $30 Okay add $20 for average dose of oil it makes $50 We'll sell you it bundled for $30 Oil + (time + no second oil ) = $50

Yup, just using Formula Ford Prior to 5w20 era It's been one fits all oil for diesel and gas fords here in EU, turbos and non-turbos. Since 90's It is marketed by BP = Castrol It's still acceptable in most current eu fords when 5w20 is not available

It's all about marketing Deutschland loves M1 0w40 just take a look ar their forums So Castrol has to follow the trend In Poland there has been massive advertising on Edge And Magnatec has bad reputation because of sludge issues in the past 10w40 for Hu? Maybe mild winters out there?

Pls keep in mind that according to regulations LPG here can have up to 50 mg/kg sulfur so high tbn is a must

Knecht/Mahle

Once I owned 1997 Chrysler Stratus 2.5 v6 with A604 tranny I had read many horror stories on issues with that gearbox prior to purchase When I got the car, the trans fluid was yellow instead of red and there was lot of jiggle when shifting between N,1 and 2 I kept on changing trans fluid every 2...

That makes me proud Polish filter in supercharged Jag!

Hi The 75w oil I'm using is 6,7 @100C or 212F while typical 75w90 is 15 My Yaris manual says using thicker oil may harm mpgs but there is no word about more wear etc
