Which brand of engine oil do you use? Nowadays there are counterfeits of many brands; I'm open to information about where you buy and about new brands. I saw the Champion brand recently; it's Belgian-made and said to be a well-known product in Europe. I've never used any oil other than Motul; let's benefit from experience

Translated from TurkishI've used the factory recommendations in my cars and never had any problems. Ford: Mobil VAG: Castrol BMW: Mobil Fiat: Petronas/Selenia etc. You can find the right oil for your usage conditions with oil selector tools - city driving, highway, construction site, hot climate, etc.
Translated from TurkishI recommend Liqui Moly or Mobil at the appropriate viscosity. Have a good day
Translated from TurkishFor oil and maintenance service I use Liqui Moly, Motul, and for fuel I use Petrol Ofisi. I've run into a lot of counterfeit Castrol, so I don't use it.
Translated from TurkishIn my Vectra I usually use Mobil or Liqui, 10w40, I'm quite happy with it.
Translated from TurkishWe get Liqui Moly from EGEMDD, Castrol from Vis Madeni Yağları, and Mobil 1 from Seçpet. We're very strict about counterfeit oils - NO returns on oil. Our Liqui Moly prices are very good. I recommend you check out Tuncoto.com.
Translated from TurkishI've been using Mobil 1 for years. I buy it from its official distributor, Cleanpex. My mind's at ease. No need for adventures, in my opinion.
Translated from TurkishMy car is a 1990 Golf mk2. Last time I bought what I thought was the best, Liqui Moly 10W40 Synthetic Super Leichtlauf. I do the oil change myself, and when pouring the oil it felt a bit thin, but I said whatever and filled it up. The car's lifters clearly started ticking. If the noise gets worse I'll drain it and put in Motul 10/40 4100 instead - I never had this issue when using Motul before. I think Liqui Moly makes the oil a bit thin at this viscosity, so it ends up needing an oil additive.
Translated from TurkishThere are many brands on the market, Shell Helix, Mobil 1, these are good brands, personally I'd recommend Motul, it can burn off a bit of oil (about a teacup per 2000-2500 km) Stay away from Castrol, there are a lot of fakes of it on the market, also it leaves a persistent oil residue on the throttle body, after long use you may need to get the throttle body cleaned, I experienced this myself, the mechanic straight up asked me if I'd used Castrol :)
