Recently started using this oil in my old x5 and noticed smoother drive, not sure how much different to my usual 5w30 but I am quite happy with the ride.
Last time they in special was $42, but not too bad for this price considering everywhere else selling for over $90ish.
OEM approvals MB229.5, BMW LL-04, API SN/CF ACEA B3/C4, JASO MA. Can also be used when 5W30 weight oil is required as per vendor Penrite.
After 5w30 , under $35
If you don't need a group 4 and 5, low SAPS spec oil (for EURO cars), then your best bet is to wait for the Nulon 5W-30 Full Synthetic Long Life Engine Oil to come on special again (usually happens a few time a year).
DO these expire - i want to buy one but not sure when im going to use it
not in the short term e.g. a few years. just store it inside your shed or garage out of direct sunlight
Good price for a LL-04 oil. I got a few jugs of the Shell Helix ultra when it was on special for $50 for my Bimmer, but this would probably be a nice replacement as well.
this is the good stuff
Anything for VW?
I use this for a V6 Bora

I've been wondering the same thing. I think this ENVIRO+ 5W-30 (FULL SYN.) is the only VW approved one they produce. It's expensive, I picked up 10L from eBay for $138 or so.

VW 504 00 / 507 00
I've used this for a vw for the last 8 yrs. Engine runs smoother with this than with other oils I've tried.

VW have been producing cars a long time. Can u be more specific?

They have plenty of VW approved oils.
This is from 2008 and it has increased since then.

Very good oil!
Can anyone recommend what is the oil I should buy for Honda Petrol Lawn mower? is this the good one?
Thanks mate
noticed smoother drive
The placebo is strong here! 40 is a thicker weight oil than 30, so if anything there would be more frictional resistance in the engine. Either way you won't feel the difference.
Noticed less oil burn from a 15 years old engine, I would say that is beneficial to me. Ride quality is smoother not sure why, but definitely better than the old 5w30 though.
The thicker oil is reducing the piston slap…

Ride quality is smoother not sure why
Placebo. Yes you might be burning less oil but you are not going to feel the difference in ride quality. However if it makes you think it's better, then that's worth every penny even if it made no actual change.
I find the 40 weight oils suits higher mileage cars plus whenever i change oil, regardless of brand the engines seem quieter. Probably due to the oil having broken down after 10000km
Noice.
