Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or OEM Volkswagen
my personal analysis’ on my s54 over the past 7 years using LM 10/60 have all been perfectly fine with low wear numbers.
I've used both and have put over 50,000 miles on my B46 (b48) without any issues. I think the liqui moly might be a little quieter, but otherwise no difference I can find. I would not put a heavier oil than the engine was designed for. These engines are a little noisy IMO but that doesn't mean anything is wrong. I actually think mine is quieter now at 88,000 then when I bought it at 34,000.
Liqui Moly 0w20 6200 is what I run and a factory filter
Another happy Mann filter and Liqui Moly oil user. I currently use 0w40 because I’m in the frozen north, but used 5w40 previously.
Liqui Moly, Eneos have been my go to oils
I used to only run Castrol Edge or Mobil 1 in both my 5.2 and 3.0T. the 3.0T didn't seem to care what it ran, but the 5.2 would burn off both of those at a rate of roughly 1200 miles per quart. After having to do a yearly(25k mile) intake pull to clean the valves/intake, I switched to Liqui moly Leichtlauf for the 5.2 and Molygen for the 3.0T. 5w40 regardless of which oil or engine.
as before, the 3.0T doesn't seem to care other than a slightly reduced amount of magnetic schmoo on the magnetic drain plug. So, better, but not a significant difference.
The 5.2 has pushed the oil consumption into the 2000 mile per quart range, the valves only had maybe 1/3 of the buildup as before and I'm no longer pushing small amounts of oil into the spark plug wells. So, undeniably better for me. Magnetic drain plug looks better here as well too.
Liquimoly talaga the best.
Liqui moly user here. Almost 8 years na ako gumagamit ng Liqui Moly, satisfied ako and hindi na ako nagpalit. I'm using it sa mga motor at kotse ko bro
i'm using the liqui moly 5w40 oil in my R, as well as previous owner has also used this oil. I absolulely love it. i also used to use in my 11 GTI previously as before using this oil i used to use the mobil 1 0w40 in the gti, but since i've switched to the liqui moly the engine used to run so much smoother.
We had 50700 VW spec oil in for 4,000 miles on the oil and 4,700 miles on the engine. The iron wear rate was about 15 ppm/1000 miles. The Longlife III oil did have impressive viscosity holding charictaristics. I did not care for the way the oil film of the 50700 wetted surfaces, it fisheyed on plastics.
