I used Amsoil 0W-30 Severe service oil in my Jetta 1.8T for the first 120k miles or so. No problems, mostly 5-7k oil changes except when I was commuting from Ct to Boston.
I had the same problem with my 99.5 VR. I now use 5-50, problem solved.
i know out of my positive personal experience with this oil and then every Blackstone oil analysis indicates low wear. i am a very satisfied customer which will only run liqui moly fluids on all my motors.
Mobil 1 lacks the zinc for sure! Many people I know in Honda circles have done alot of oil research, as the flat rockers pads of the H22 VTEC engine get eaten away, especially with high lift cams. Most of us now run either Brad Penn, or Royal Purple HPS oil. I run the Rotella T6 in my Subaru and Acura, but the older Honda engine I still don't trust it.
I too use Mobile1 0w40. Burns maybe 1/3 of a quart every 7000 miles. Not bad at all.
German Castrol 0W-30 is group 4 Oil and is superior to all oils mentioned above. If you look at bottle it says made in germany, not new jersey like other castrol oils. I have used since 15K miles now over 50K miles and zero cam follower wear, no gunk on intake valves, and minimal consumption..
Have used the T6 myself for years in assorted VW's and Volvos with reduced oil consumption as compared to the VW 504 oils.
I am now testing Motul x-cess which should be even better
I agree with nickbeezy... Liqui moly is qualit oil... Its funny, the way i see it: it delivers better quality than expected... If you use the oil in addition to some of their additives you will notice impressive results. These results include a quieter engine, better mpg, better long term reliability, less oil burned, etc.
Feels buttery smooth now, lets see after a few k- miles !
