T6 Rotella 5w-40 when I run test pipes on tune, the heavy weight is great for keeping oil temps down and the zinc is awesome as a friction inhibitor but is terrible for cats so when I’m going to pass emissions I run Kirkland 5w-30 full synth on stock cats.
I change mine about every 4500 miles or so and I use Mobil 1 oil. Manufacturers love to point out how little it costs to maintain their vehicles but changing your oil every 10k will ensure you’ll be replacing your vehicle sooner than later and that benefits the dealership.
I did first oil change on Atlas at 5k then did 10k changes, but the 3.6 is lethargic compared to the GTI which I have been doing about every 4k miles.
My B9.5 S5 went through a quart about 3000 miles into the last oil change. This oil change that im on now I havent had the light come on and im at about 5000 miles which is when I change oil. I started taking mine to an Indie shop and they use Liqui Moly oil plus they add this little bottle of addative thats supposed to help lubricate the piston rings better.
I run OW-30 Liqui moly that doesn’t burn any oil either.
I'm using Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40.
I prefer motul as I’ve used both and motul gives me less oil consumption from burning/passing through rings on my mk3 TT.
Stopped buying the dealer oil and switched to Mobil one esp x2, stopped asking for more oil between 5k changes.
I switched to liquimoly oil, mine uses a quart roughly every 3k miles but no issues.
I used Motul with ester. 15W-50 I think? It was for a 16’ Continental GT. Seemed to work fine.
