On my MKV GTI when I switched to a thinner Motul from a thicker Pentosin I noticed a good bump in power.
Pros: good bump in power
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Good quality synth 5w40 alllll dayyy eryyy dayyy. Flip open your owner's manual, 5w40 is the recommended oil. 30 weight thins out too much during extended drive periods or in high temp areas. FWIW the previous owner of my Golf sold it because it was an "oil burner" he was using gas station brand dino 5w30 :screwy: I switched to Motul and then Gulf 5w40, and drove it for 55k+ kms, had to add about 1L between my 10K OCIs.
Pros: recommended oil, good quality
Cons: thins out too much

I've decided to buy the Motul 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 for my first oil change. It's fully synthetic, low SAPS and has a high shearing tolerance. Even the TBN is relatively decent.
Pros: fully synthetic, high tolerance
I run Motul in my 05' GLI and its amazing. Motul doesnt break down like other oils its good stuff
Pros: amazing performance, doesn't break down

Pros: great oil
Part number: 5-30
Switching from dino 5w30 (previous owner) to Motul 5w40 in my 2.0 8v reduced oil consumption drastically, quieted lifter noise and increased MPGs.
Pros: reduced oil consumption, quieted lifter noise

Mileage: 10000 km
Love Motul I Agree that the recomendation is not always best for the engine. I work in Miami and I see that the dealer recomends Castrol and Mobil 1... which will never be better than euro synthetics which are the ones recomended in europe which have higher standards.
Pros: euro synthetics better
When I bought my golf, the PO was using crap gas station brand 5w30, the first weekend I had the car I switched to Motul synth 5w40. No leaks and drastically reduced oil consumption compared to what the PO said it was going through and it's been great ever since. I have since switched from Motul 8100 X-cess to Gulf Formula G (still 5w40) and noticed even less oil burning. I drove 4700kms across Canada at a constant 3300-4200 rpm for 4 days, oil level barely went down a drop.
Pros: reduced oil consumption, no leaks
Cons: crap gas station brand 5w30
