I tried Mobil 1 15w-50 for about 15 minutes (literally!) in my 2.0 one time. The valve noise at startup was so bad I drained it immediately.
Cons: valve noise at startup

I switched to Mobil1 synthetic. The factory fill oil is 0w30. I replaced it with Mobil1 0w40, it complies with all of the specifications, and is not that expensive.
Pros: complies with specifications
Cons: need to buy 7 quarts
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I have been using mobil 1. Amsoil is very good also.
Pros: very good
I would recommend using Mobil 1 0W40 with a Mobil 1 filter...noticed a great improvement, not only in the reduction of the noise, but the engine is quieter as well overall...
Pros: engine quieter, noise reduction
Mileage: 42000 km
I would recommend Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40. This is what I use. A 40 weight oil will help out with your ticking sound.
Pros: helps with ticking sound
I have been using 15W-50 Mobil 1 in the '92 Jetta for the past 130K miles (it has 264K miles total on it !!!). It doesn't leak or burn a drop and it is all original (best motor I have ever had!!!).
Pros: doesn't leak or burn
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 264000 km
I recently tore down a Ford 302 V8 with over 300K miles on it which I know ran Mobil 1 all of it's life and it was just as clean as the new (Jasper) engine being installed! No varnish, sludge build up and virtually no wear!
Pros: no sludge build up
Cons: grey sludge/brown varnish
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 300000 km
I have found little if any inconsistancy from using Mobil 1 5W40, Redline, Royal Purple & Amsoil. Since Mobil 1 is much more readily available I chose to use that and works out great for me.
Pros: works out great
I Change my oil every 4000Km and use Mobil Delvac 1 5w40. You can get it at Walmart. I like the 5w40 because it his light enough if you have to start your car below freezing there is no oil starvation. It is also heavy enough that it protects well under high revs, high heat and heavy loads.
Pros: protects well under high revs
Mileage: 4000 km
I pulled my chipped K03 at 50K miles and looked at it, along with the oil lines, and everything was perfect. Not one sign of coking. This was after using Mobil 1 from 10K to 50K.
Pros: perfect condition, no coking
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 50000 km
