I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

Filled in Peugeot 308 (EP6C engine), travelled 2022 km so far. Due to the high viscosity of the oil, the waste consumption in my engine is approximately the same as it is in other oils (Eurorepar premium C2, Mobil 1 ESP). This is because the hydraulic lifters knock for a slightly longer period of time while the oil is cold.
Since I didn't come across any evaluations that were unequivocally unfavorable regarding the oil, I believe that it will be able to fulfill its functions adequately with the shift intervals that I use (5,000–7,500 kilometers). There is no reason, in my opinion, to pay more than necessary for more prominent oils.

Pros

The cost is the primary selling point! At this price point, I have not come across another oil that is approved by both ACEA C3 and BMW LL-04! It also presented itself in a very respectable manner, as determined by the studies conducted at the oil club.

Cons
