I use Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL Fully Synthetic Engine Oil on my B48 pre LCI G21 no issues at all and complies with BMW specifications
Pero nag stay ako sa motul since 2019.
You need the specific VW spec 0w-20. It has a bluish and green hue. Its for fuel economy and warranty, also for stuff like the fuel filter and the intricate other parts of the engine, running regular 0w-20 may cause problems.
Oil needs to be specificly designed for VW. I use [LiquiMoly Top Tech 6200 VW 508 Spec](https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-0w20-synthetic-oil-change-kit-liqui-moly-mann-538720?ads_cmpid=21759816943&ads_adid=170798399249&ads_matchtype=&ads_network=g&ads_creative=715097223081&utm_term=&ads_targetid=pla-293946777986&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&ttv=2&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21759816943&gclid=CjwKCAiAt8bIBhBpEiwAzH1w6Xei8JrrLq8MziCPaWxXnDYi7k66dFtY4Tj6tiqXtBQJa-l1PzNhoBoCp0QQAvD_BwE).
Been running 87 and 5w 40 on my mk7.5 for the last 40k of ownership. She loves it, no tics stutters or hiccups at 65k miles.
Looks real good. Valvoline R&P is in mine now.
Valvoline Restore & Protect oil, stat!
The dreaded Pentastar tick is GONE! It took about a week of regular use for the noise (on the passenger side of the top of the engine) that used to show up after idling for a few minutes to completely disappear with the new oil. I’m sure plenty of oils work fine but I went with Amsoil because my brother gave me a gift card and referral coupon for my birthday. I run 6 qts because I already have the Baxter spin-on adapter. Which requires a little more oil. The dipstick reads “low” at 5 qts whether I’m idling or checking it after the Jeep has been off for ten minutes. With 6 qts it sits right and holds a steady 30 PSI and never spikes. Such a relief!
I use Motul V300 5w-40. Expensive oil change but no additive breakdown at 3k changes.
I learned this the hard way switching to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30, destroyed my bearings just like you.
