Engine oil AMSOIL or Total
It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C
That'd be nice. I could just run the same oil in the Tig and my Golf TDI. 504/507 Total Quartz is quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol 0w20 and it's been doing great in my Golf according to the Blackstone reports.
I run amsoil Signature 0w20.
I use total quartz. My tuner and other local shops that work on European cars highly recommend it.
I ended up returning the Castrol Edge 5W-40 and got AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Improved ESP Synthetic Motor Oil instead, which is VW Approved and 504 spec. Its quite pricey though, $180 CAD for 12 x 946ml.
Amsoil XL 5W-30 in my 2016. Swapped with a new OEM filter every 6K.
Total 9000 seems to be just fine for my Pug and it is recommended by manufacturer.
FWIW, I've run AMSoil in my 2003 WRX since new, and I like it. What actually sold me on it was when I did my first oil change. The used oil still feels new when you run it over your fingers. And the engine still runs just fine.
I'm one of those people that uses Amsoil. I use their European 5w40 and change the oil every 10K or 1 year, whichever occurs first. Never needed to add any oil between changes.
Here is what I've been using on the Gen3 1.8t (2014 passat) - http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produ...otor-oil/european/european-car-formula-5w-40-synthetic-motor-oil/?code=aflqt-ea . Works really well with a 5K OCI.
