I use Liqui-Moly 5w40 and have with several VWs. Great oil, imo.
LiquiMoly 5w40 full syn...........its some good shizzzz and at a fare price
I have only used Lubromoly/Liquimoly 5w-30 Full synthetic with the Mos2 Additive. Molydenum sulfide from liquimoly and my car runs super quiet and idle very smooth. I change my oil every 2500 miles..no matter what. Oil pressure is very good, zero shavings in the oil between oil changes. Additionally, I use the liquimoly engine clean between changes and like I mentioned before the car runs superb...no complaints here.
They should be using 0W20 full synthetic oil (not synblend crap). Its not going to hurt running the 5W20 in it instead but next time mention it at write up. Mazda claims benefits such as better cold start protection and better efficiency among other things.
They were using the wrong oil- Shell 0-30, and it was clicking pretty loud when cold. I got the oil change kit from Duetche Auto and put in the Luqimoly. What a difference. I cant recommend it more. You will love it.
Personally, i like the Lubro Molly stuff the best. While not too relevant to the MKVI and the TSI engine, when I used it on my former MKV with the FSI engine, I definetly noticed a lot less oil residue on my tailpipes and the engine just felt better, smoother and quieter.
I change every 5K with Liquimoli 5w-40... I'd use 5w-40 over 5w-30, especially if you're doing any kind of upgrade to performance. Car will run a heck of a lot better.. 5w-30 is to thin when working an engine as hard as most of us do.
For my 2.5 engine, with +100k miles and a turbo, ive been using liqui moly with great success. It meets the 502 requirements, and it yields great results.
VW uses Castrol Edge 5w-40, it's what they used for mine too, i do like Castrol but not the one made here in UAE(Sharjah), therefore on my RS6 i am using Liqui-Moly Top Tec 4100(VW approved 502, 505, 505.01) which is only made in Germany and i very happy with it, therefore i am going to use it for the Phaeton as well!
i know out of my positive personal experience with this oil and then every Blackstone oil analysis indicates low wear. i am a very satisfied customer which will only run liqui moly fluids on all my motors.
