### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best oil for my i20 Elite
*by N***Y on 19 January 2024*

Tried for the first time. Rode about 300kms & aaaaha the ride was fantastically smooth. You can feel the car acceleration gliding so smooth. Didn't check the mileage part. Only issue was cap seal was open but the internal oil foil seal is intact with Gulf logo on it. Overall Awesome 👌🏽
