My car at 150k extensively used Shell 10w60, and I switched it to Motul 10w60 cause it was the easiest to get for me.
I just changed the oil in my MK7 GTI (around 300hp) with MOTUL X-cess (5w40) and my god did it ever make a difference!
I value peace of mind and the price difference isn’t noticeable long-term,so I run LiquiMoly leichtlauf. I figure German cars get German oil as they probably design it to their own German standards.
I know leichtlauf is the best from them, meets the highest standards for German vehicles and is tested very stringently, so for performance I’d stick with that.
I use 5w30, liqui moly toptec 4200. It meets VW504 standard and API SP.
Use semi synthetic 10w30 replace at 3k kms. As for oil I try different brands from motul, gulf to fanfaro.
Think the last oil change I did was with Motul 7-series (fully synthetic) 10w40 because central Italy gets HOT
I've recently switched to Motul because the Castrol pouring spouts seem to have gone away and Motul's also become more available.
I've put whatever motul 10w40 semi I can get cheapest into my blackbird every 10k miles for the last 140k and it's fine.
I filled up with 5 liters of Liqui Moly and the dipstick showed just over half way between the top and bottom limits.
I was using Mobil1 ESP 5w30 in my 530i XDrive.
I tried Motul but the oil consumption was bigger with the Motul.
