10w-30 FS castrol edge is what I use and I'll add Lucas oil full stabilizer to it and she loves it:')
I religiously use LiquiMoly Molygen in my GTIs, nothing else
Pros: religiously use
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
It’s fine. I stick to the Castrol Euro as it’s readily available.
Pros: readily available
LiquiMoly TopTec 6200 0W-20. It is dyed green just like the OE oil, and it meets the VW 508.00 standard.
Pros: meets VW standard, dyed green
Part number: LM20238
Used LiquiMoly 0w-20 at 5k and will continue to do it every other oil change.
Mileage: 5000 km
I use castrol as I’m Canadian and the price to get liquimoly is unacceptably expensive imo. But if you can get it at a decent price I’d go with that.
Pros: readily available
Cons: liquimoly is expensive
I would just go with liqui moly leichtlauf high tech 5w40. A little expensive but well worth it. One of the the best out there and as long as you do the oil change yourself you are good to go.
Pros: well worth it, best out there
Cons: a little expensive
Castrol is fine. It’s literally the manufacture recommended brand
Pros: manufacture recommended
I was using Mobil 1 fully synth 5w40 on my old cab with no problem at all. good pressure at idle and at 2k. I used this oil in my new cab (same engine) and boom! No oil pressure at for the first 15 secs. Then it immediately jumped to 5 bars and finally settled down to 1 bat maybe less. However, I saw a dramatic increase in oil pressure even with the 5W40 mobil 1 when I switched to a 2L oil pump. Idle pressure was arround 2bars. Although I used it last summer and it worked just fine throught my vacations in Greece.
Pros: good pressure (old cab), worked fine (Greece)
Cons: no oil pressure (new cab)
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
