I’ve have always used higher quality oil like liqui-moly (0w-20 till 60k kms)
I might add use the best oil you can find - this will keep your PCV system spotless and other good things. I always use oil to the severe service Volvo spec listed in the owners manual. I now am pretty exclusive to the LiquiMoly line. I insist on 3rd party certification
Liqui moly for me runs about 4-5 degrees lower than OEM for my GTI. not sure if the same temp diff exists for the R but I did some reading on this. Perfectly normal.
selber fahr ich nur auf Liqui Moly
Bin da Markenopfer.
Auch was additive angeht.
Nur Liqui Moly
I run 10w60 liquimoly gt1 full synthetic. Engine build 2019 till now no issues regular oil changes
I'm using motorcrack 15 40 in my 3.0 Taurus. It's been great for years
Pick one oil and run it for life preferably liqui moly , I hear these particular engines need one oil for life , drive her hard sometimes should be fine
I run 5w30 liquimoly molygen since i tow a lot on my 2019 5.3
Oil pressures are happy and so far so good.
If changing oil at 15k kms interval has served you well for 2 lakh kilometers, then I'd recommend sticking to it instead of switching to an oil with long service life. 30k kms oil change interval claim is a big stretch. I've used LiquiMoly 5w-40 with my Polo 1.2L TDI. Drove it close to or may be more than 20k kms over the course of 3 years until the check engine light came on. Immediately changed to OEM engine oil and for some reason the check engine light went away. Except with LiquiMoly, I've always changed engine oil at 15k kms or 1 year whichever was earlier. This is what my car's manufacturer recommends and I'll follow it even if I use LiquiMoly again.
when they were done my GLI it felt GREAT driving it home until me engine oil sky rocketed to 238 degrees…never seen oil that hot in my life and majorrrrrr lag…i thought it was done. put my hazards on pulled over got it towed back to my house then i started it back up and it was running just fine.
