Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or FUCHS
amazon.ca has Liqui moly TOP TEC 6200 SAE0W-20, VW508 00/509 00. Been using this since day 1 on my 2021 Tiguan with no issue.
I buy Liqui Moly 6200 from germanparts.ca for about $70/5L. Our Tiguan consumes a lot of oil sadly, so I buy a lot of it. My mechanic recently recommended using Liquid Moly 2331 (Leichtlauf) 5W40 to see if it helps with oil consumption, and have had that in for the last month or so.
Liqui Moly 0W-20 LR for my F-Type-R. Doesn't use much oil, so cost is somewhat irrelevant.
Had an E63 that I recently traded with almost 200K miles, a few months ago I scoped my 1 and 5 cylinders and they had what I would consider normal to no wear. So as a DIY'r, here are my observations, This is a bigger issue in the States than it is in Europe. ... Keeping the engine clean is key. Frequent oil changes no more than 5k mi, using quality oil and fleece filters, formerly a Mobil 1 guy, now using LiquiMoly.
Whatever weight the owner's manual says it takes, I'd use that. You'll definitely want to go with a high quality oil though. I personally use Liqui-moly... I have 192,000 on my 2012 A6, and she's still purring right along, a lot of which in my opinion has to do with the higher end oil.
Liquimoly 5W-40, every 7k kms or 6 months. I buy it myself and get it done by any garage
Liqui Moly 5w-40 every 7k. Do it myself in my driveway ????
I order the right price point of liquimoly because it burns less vs other brands, in my experience
Liqui Moly TopTec 4100 is good and cheap. Castrol oil is, indeed, not worth the money.
Liqui Moly Leichtlauf (the dark blue bottle) 5w40: This is the oil I ran this sumer, and I'm on my second oil change with it. This oil burned about 2 quarts during both intervals, but did not seem to thin out or break down at all.
