I have an 09 Jetta Sportwagen with a APR stage 1 ECU upgrade (since 2000 miles) and have 63,500 miles on the car. I have changed the oil every 10,000 and the oil is only down about 1/4 quart after 10,000 miles. I have done an oil analysis with Blackstone labs every oil change and the report comes back with the oil looks great and to extend the change to 11,000 miles! The report also shows my engine wearing betting than average.
here in hawaii i'm running 15-50 with 8k or so intervals. oil test has com eup clean. motul oil as of last oil change, pentosin before that. when i ship my car, i will be swtiching to a lighter weight as i will actually see outside temps below 70* motul FTW:beer: i say run 10-40 motul, this one.. http://www.sears.com/motul-839451-6100-synergie-10w-40-technosynthese/p-SPM7359011402P
Me...I'll stick to CASTROL EDGE 5w50...over a quarter of a million miles in an actual SCIROCCO.
The engine with the new oil runs so smoothly, I can literally stand a coin on top of the intake manifold and the coin won’t fall.
I have used royal purple once and didnt really are for it... But now i have been using motul 8100 x-cess 5w40 on my 06 2.5l rabbit for the past 5 oil changes and it works amazing... I'm going on 6500 miles right now and it still has a yellowish tint to it, like clean oil! I do some autocross, some quarter miles, and I drive a little aggressive... This oil is awesome an I would definitely recommend it...
My guy uses Motul 5w-30 in my CC.
the info is correct. I find the Castrol and Mobil 1 most consistently at Autozone. The Castrol is called Edge now, I think.
I have an mk4 2.0 Jetta with 87.000 Kms (54.000 miles aprox) and when I bought it it came with 20W50 Quacker State oil in it... I knew it was not correct so I change it with Castrol Edge Synthetic oil... The guy at the shop told me that since VW engines run on high temps the recommend grade was 5w50... So far the oil has been great... There is zero oil consumption, the engine runs smooth and the temps are stable...
Just completed my first hands-on oil change on the GTI; used the German 0W-30 Edge, since VW still owes me one more filter and Castrol oil change in a few months.
A definite 'no' on that. VW says no and it's been shown many times. The factory fill is plain old off the shelf oil (generally Castrol).
