I too have a 2013 passat with the CKRA, I’m currently at 175k miles. I do my oil change every 7500 miles. I only use liqui-moly top tech 4200 5w-30. I usually never have to add oil between changes unless a lot of hard driving in the summer.
I have have had very good experience over the decades with Liqui Moly 5-40 and Total Quartz 9000 5-40 Both are excellent motor oils
I use 10W/60 Liqui-Moly with all my engines. I am old school and to a point, thicker is better.
I am using Shell Helix Ultra 5w40, fully synthetic for my Lancer (2006), change it at around 7000 KMs. No complaints, my travel includes short & long distance, very happy & satisfied.
I’m using Total 5W30 and pretty satisfied with the performance.
switch to 5w20 as according to fords bulletin for oil, i been using motorcraft synthetic blend for 26 yrs
I've been using Castrol Edge 5w-40 for years and have had good results, but wondering what others are using. I initially used Mobil1 0w-40 but got a lot of lifter noise which disappeared after switching to Castrol.
Only vw507 that I can get in my area is motul or liquimoly. I get whichever is on sale.
The Motul oil you’re looking at is pretty similar to any old big box oil, but it costs a ton.
I noticed when the castrol 508 spec wears. It smells Faintly of onions and beans. Strange smell indeed, when I took my car to street side VW out of Amarillo, Texas.
