Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or MOTUL
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.
Would be better to use a quality full synthetic instead. Motul 7100 is very popular but there are other options. I'm thinking about giving the Shell/Ducati oil a try.
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.
Well if you ride a dirtbike i might not reccomend it i use motul 7100 10w50 i belive it isnt rly expensive and its a good oil most of the local racers use it including me.
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.
If you're skeeved out and want to return it, I usually go with the knuckleheads over at [ShopDAP.com](https://ShopDAP.com) (love their VW/Audi YT channel too). They seem to be Liqui-Moly fans and have kits for the Golf and other 1.8TSI vehicles that you can buy. I use Liqui-Moly 5W-40 and it works great, if maybe slightly pricey. I used to use Mobile 1 0W-40 Euro Car Formula in my old Audi S4 and it would probably work OK in these engines too but I wanted to stick with 5W-40.
