Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or AMSOIL
Been using amsoil for a little over a year now and it's really quiet.
Amsoil. My s2k burned just about every oil when I beat on it until I started using Amsoil.
I have used LiquiMoly ever since I put the new motor in and it’s been wonderful
Liquimoly molygen for the win.
I've used it in my 460 for 3 oil changes now. The oil stays cleaner longer and keeps the engine running smoother than Mobil1. I can go 7500 miles between changes and the oil still looks new.
Any major brand of the correct rating and viscosity will work.
That being said, I have an 05 that was used as a DD for 12 years. Short trips, 3 days a week. After 12 years and 47K miles, I added a aftermarket supercharger. Put another 20K on it, including trips to the drag strip and track days.
I then had it rebuilt with forged internals because I wanted higher boost and more power. When the engine was pulled apart and measured. There was no wear. The cylinders were still within factory specs as was the crank.
I had used Amsoil SS 0W-20 the whole time.
Liqui Moly all day. Now that i’m over 200k in my Touareg i’ve been getting the light green containers which makes any oil leaks detectable with a black light. Not that i’ve had any but i think it makes it easier for my tech if ever the situation arose. As for filters Mahle, Mann, and Hengst are the go-to’s.
I'm doing mine a little more frequently now at 280,000km. I do every 7,500km with liquimoly molygen.
5w40 is fine for the summer.. I would go with liqui moly next time if the prices are similar.
(2013 VW GTI) Used to use this exact oil and noticed LiquiMoly 5W-40 (they even have a UV dye version if you have any sneaky oil leaks) performed better for my car specifically. I do frequent changes 3000-4000 miles and the oil doesn’t seem so burnt, I experienced less oil consumption, and the engine oil temp seems to sit slightly lower as well.
