Engine oil Eneos or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
My tuner recommended Eneos 5w40
Pros: tuner recommended
Its not uncommon for a new Tiguan to use oil. The new oil is really thin. It is VW special,you might as well go to the dealer and purchase a quart.
Pros: thin oil, VW special
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Eneos 5w-30 full synth for my 06 WRX. It has a high zinc content.
Pros: high zinc content
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have exclusively used Eneos 0w-20 in this car - the non-Sustina version. This past oil change, I started using Eneos Racing Street 0w-20 as they're phasing out the OG 0w-20.
Both have worked very similarly for me. No issues with anything other than E85 dilution when I'm running it.
Pros: worked very similarly, no issues
Cons: E85 dilution
I run Eneos 0w-20. Lots of people love Mobil1, if only because it is often on sale at WallyWorld.
Pros: using Eneos oil
Im replacing mine soon...though since switching to 5-40 oil (as per recent VW specs) my oil consumption is far less than before.
Pros: oil consumption far less
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 207000 km
Eneos 5w-20 in my 2008 2.3 liter Mazda3. It's a Japanese-branded synthetic oil that you can get from Napa Auto. I've found that with Eneos, my Mz3 stops consuming any oil (in both my 2007 and 2008 2.3's).
Pros: stops oil consumption
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 181000 km
Once the oil temp reads the temp number, you're all set to do what you please.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "
Pros: TBN still okay
Cons: aluminum and copper high
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 9979 km
Hmm... I just took the car in for its MoT and although it passed, they noticed that the exhaust was smoky and that oil level had been overfilled. The oil was last changed at the car's 40,000 mile service by the same VW dealer and on the invoice they've listed 9 litres of oil.
Cons: smoky exhaust, oil overfilled
Mileage: 64373 km
