BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.
Liquimoly 5w40. That stuff is money. Used to use Castrol in my RS4 but constantly was consuming between changes. Switched to Liquimoly and it stopped. Now i use it in all my vehicles including my bike. I just wait til NAPA has em for half price as they do right now then buy jugs. Just changed the Golf.
I use liqui moly as well (4200 long life), seems like it doesn't really matter, but picking oil with the correct grade (507/505) is key.
LiquiMoly!!!! Ask NGP in Maryland. They built my motor 7 years back. I used Mobil1 for 20 years. It's good stuff. But LiquiMoly is the ticket for me now.
I ran Mobil 1 20w/50 for 24 years. The guys at NGP use Liqui Moly everything so I switched after reading up on it. I'm REALLY liking Liqui Moly since I switched 3 years ago.
I'd go with [Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5W40.](https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-oil-change-kit-5w-40-liqui-moly-kit)
i use liqui moly 5w30, the european formula. it says made in germany, its the best during winter.
Liqui Moly Specifically Liqui Moly 2332 Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 Engine Oil - 5 Liter
I use LiquiMoly 5W-40, no issues.
Even tho the other oil also meets the minimum requirements the manufacturer suggests, paying the few extra pennies for even better oil is always worth it.
