Well, I did mine last weekend with Liqui Moly 5W40 and I have to say that the car does sound better than with Mobil 1 5W40. It might be imagination, but that counts too, right?? LOL
Pros: car sounds better
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
When I did my oil change about 800-900 miles ago I used Mobil 1 0w-40 and so far I'm loving it more than which was last in there which was 5w-40 used at a VW dealer them selves.
Pros: loving it
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 850 km
It isnt either mentioned, but I have used the RotellaT6 with good results. I did this for my first oil change after I bought the car used. Not sure what the previous owner used, but the chains quieted down quite a bit.
Pros: chains quieted down
Pentosin is pretty cheap and good quality, thats what Ive been using the past couple years.
Pros: cheap, good quality
Liqui Moly or bust! i have been using the 5w-40 synthoil premium and ceratec with good results
Pros: good results
I'm on my first oil change with Liqui Moly, been using Castrol for the first 180,000km. Motor seems to be much quieter since (1000kms since the change) Performance seems to be the same
Pros: motor seems much quieter
Cons: performance seems same
Mileage: 1000 km
Amsoil made the engine idle much smoother than any of the other oils have but every oil I've used but Mobil has been good as far as life and burn-off goes.
Pros: engine idle much smoother
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
i can only speak from experience and based on my oil analysis results... Liqui moly is an amazing oil. The motor is fairly quiet, the fuel economy is good, the performance is on point and Friction inside the motor (engine wear) is at a \"very very minimum\" or so the reports say... For all this, i cant help but recommend Liqui Moly!
Pros: motor fairly quiet, good fuel economy
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Shell Rotella T for the win - get it cheap at your local Walmart in gallon jugs. Side note on collapsed lifters - ATF Type F, added to the oil and a 5-10 min idle cycle before you change the oil can really help clean them out for cheap. Note, ATF has a lot of cleaners in it, and is thin, DO NOT rev it...just let it idle. Worked awesome on my old Coupe GT 5 cyl with horrid lifters.
Pros: cheap, cleans lifters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
