After NGP Racing rebuilt my engine in 2015, I found out about LiquiMoly. Read up on it and sticking with L.M.
Pros: made in Germany
I recommend Nissan oil or any motul synthetic with Ester. Thats what these engines recommend. Had mine for 12 years and still a very relevant car today.
Pros: super-reliable
Anyway, the only 508.00 spec oil I've found locally has been this Mobil 1 ESP X2 at Wally World. (walmart) Anyone else running it? Anyone seen any deep analyses? I put lots of Mobil 1 Delvac through 2 TDIs totalling 485k miles, so I'm willing to bet on this Mobil 1. I like being able to pick it up locally, and at only $28 for 5 quarts!?
Pros: easy to pick up locally
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 40000 km
I literally just changed my oil today, I love it, I have been using AMSOIL directly for years now with free shipping and free membership if you spend 500 a year or more if I recall correctly.
Pros: love it, using for years
Vehicle:
Ford
I run motorcraft in my mustang and have zero complaints.
Pros: zero complaints
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I use either Mobil 1 ESPx2 European Car Formula 0W-20 available at Walmart or Valvoline Full Synthetic European Vehicle 0W-20 from NAPA. Both are approved VW 508 00 oils and can be cheaper than the oil at the dealer.
Pros: cheaper than dealer oil
If you want brand recommendation choose Valvoline Extended Protection 5w-20 every 4k miles.
Pros: Extended Protection
Vehicle:
Land Rover
Mileage: 4000 km
Regardless, I haven't heard of Aral, but I wouldn't knock it without proof that's worse than Castrol.
my vw eats full synthetic castrol 5w40. thats what the dealership recommended to me.
Cons: eats oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 5W40
