OEM Volkswagen › Engine oil

Curbis 9 Jul 2024, 08:26

Rating 5.0

This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.

Pros: stellar report at 12,228

Cons: higher wear metals

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 12228 km

I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum because it is GF-6A and API SP full synthetic motor oil which are the latest and greatest standards.

Pros: latest and greatest standards

Castrol is great option if it is not fake, also make sure to change oil every 10000km (6200 miles). Those engines are bulletproof, should cause no issues

Pros: great option

Cons: if it is not fake

Mileage: 10000 km

Engine noise:

Pennzoil ultra premium is the best overall considering price, pennzoil euro is even better if they make it in your w-viscosity rating.

amsoil is the best period but is also expensive. recommended for commercial driving where you run your car to the limit racking up hundreds of miles per drive.

A lot of old guys recommend mobil 1. Mobil 1 loses to even walmart supertech, amazon basics oil, valvoline, etc. in the wear metal tests so that's my reason for avoiding that one

Pros: best overall considering price

Cons: mobil 1 loses tests

I've tried most of them. I went like 2 years doing all sorts of testing on my car and never noticed a difference. I stick with good old Castrol Edge like the factory recommends.

Pros: easily available locally

Cons: no noticed difference

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 5000 km

Engine noise:

I use to use Mobil 1 Full Syth. and it was a mistake the \"knocking.pinging\" noise will also reduce using the right grade oil. Learn from my past experiences.

Cons: knocking, pinging noise
