Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Scirocco
On chilly winter mornings (SF Bay Area) the car did not like reverse or first gears. Subsequently switched to Red Line engine oil. More power, better mileage.
Pros: more power, better mileage
Cons: car did not like gears

I use OEM oil filters and Mobil 1 15w50 oil on my oil burning autobahn buster Scirocco

Amsoil 10w40 and there 20w50 non race oil it says right on the bottle it has a heave zinc compound for extreme use. I use the 10w40 in my Rocco 16v my wifes mk1 gti , and a lot of other vehicles. No upper end noises on any of them. Worth it weight in gold!
Pros: heavy zinc compound, no upper end noises

I use Shell Helix 10W-30 for my Sciroccos. No probs! :thumbup: I always have a 60 litres barrel in my garage for my cars.
Pros: no problems

Shell Rotella T for the win - get it cheap at your local Walmart in gallon jugs. Side note on collapsed lifters - ATF Type F, added to the oil and a 5-10 min idle cycle before you change the oil can really help clean them out for cheap. Note, ATF has a lot of cleaners in it, and is thin, DO NOT rev it...just let it idle. Worked awesome on my old Coupe GT 5 cyl with horrid lifters.
Pros: cheap, cleans lifters

Me...I'll stick to CASTROL EDGE 5w50...over a quarter of a million miles in an actual SCIROCCO.
Pros: quarter million miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
Mileage: 402336 km
I recommend 5W40 Castrol Syntec! Here's why: Smaller numbers = thinner oil. The "W" means "Winter" - or the viscosity of the oil when the engine is cranking, and first warming up. The 5W oil is very thin when cold. The engine will crank faster, the pump primes better. The hydraulic lifters in your 16v will fill up and follow the camshaft better and with less noise. When you are at operating temperature, the 40 weight oil will give you the protection that a VW engine needs.
Pros: cranks faster when cold, less lifter noise, good engine protection

I've used mobil 1 20-50 for the last three oil changes and had really bad ticking noise from the head. This last oil change I used casterol GTX and have had a lot less ticking since. I'm no longer sold on mobil 1 for the rocco.
Pros: less ticking noise
Cons: bad ticking noise
