AMS oil 5w40 "European Formula" after first 5k. Just dumped the first oil after 10k of hard driving. Still had lot's of life left in the oil, and no noticeable consumption as we recovered almost all of what was originally put in (4.4 of 4.5L)
The Motul stuff is pretty great, though I went with Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5w-40. My 2.0 TSI Gen 2 really like that oil, never burned a drop and saw about +2% in fuel economy.
For my 24v I use: Castrol Edge Professional OE 5w40
I've been using these docs for a while now, and am incredibly grateful for you sharing them. With that said, I just noticed something that's news to me. Both the \"Revised Oil Capacity Job Aid\" and the 2012 vs 2013 fluid capacity charts show a 1 qt decrease in engine oil capacity between 2012 and 2013 MY. I've always heard there were insignificant, minor changes between the model years. I've been putting 5ish into my 2012 and it's always been full according to the dipstick.
I switched to Redline 5w-40 at my last oil change, just barely into my second round of it now. So far so good.
For what it's worth I run Amsoil 20-50 in both holes on my 01 sporty 1200, never had any issues.
Sounds like you already have your answer, but yes, the Motul 8100 X-Cess is a good oil, probably better than their VW specific oil.
Been using Motul on my 3.2 for the past two oil changes. Haven't had any issues.
I had use both and i have driven more miles without needing to refill with motul. But motul > mobil one
AMSOIL is good stuff, but it's expensive.
