CKRA Passat, 164k miles, every 10k miles oil changes since new without negative experience. I did a Blackstone report once and oil looked good. I have used Rowe, Liquimoly, Fuchs and Mobil1 ESP.
I have a 14 Passat. I do full synthetic LiquiMoly with the VW spec. I change it out every 6-6500 miles.
My 07 Passat has 236k. I change oil every 5k, cam follower every 70-100k (20k is serious overkill), lots of coil pack changes (like 4 or 5), and that is about it.
Castrol Edge 5w-40 in my 2.8 2001 Passat, 3.6 2017 Touareg, 3.0T 2014 Audi A6 and Castrol Edge 0W-40 in my 2.5 2012 Jetta. Located in Minnesota. Usually run 5W-40 year round.
Jetta was picky last winter, so switched over to 0W-40 from 5W-40. Depends on how harsh the winter, might be a good idea to go 0W-40.
I ran this exact oil in my late B5.5 1.8T, and it worked great, until some lady blew a stop sign, t-boning me and totaling my car. But it wasn't the fault of the oil, lol.
using good quality oil (generally liqui molly) seems to be very much recommended.
I use this on my 2003 Passat 1.8T probably every 2-3 oil changes. Motor has 269,000 miles and burns a smidgen of oil on startup. The Lucas seems to help a bit.
My 2925 Passat is happy on the Mobil 1 esp synthetic.
My wife drove her 2008 Passat 2 miles per day for six years. As you can imagine, during these very short drives in winter, the oil became diluted - this was born from sever UOAs. So, I changed the oil every 1,500 miles and the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Over-kill perhaps but based upon my personal expectations, worth the time and money. We used Mobil 1 0W40....which sheared to a 0W30 fairly quickly and stabilized.
The new LM MolyGen or whatever it is called is not as good as the oil that was discussed thoroughly in this thread. I strongly recommend you stick to the LM Leichtlauf (part number 2332). If you engine sounds \"angrier\", and if that's not in your head, then that is a bad thing.
