I've noticed my mk4 2.0 AZG with 250k miles uses 1.5-2 quarts of Mobil 1 in between 4k mile oil changes vs 1L of liqui moly.
When I put Mobile 1 (found a killer deal $$$) in my Golf, I noticed a bit more engine noise vs LiquiMoly. I'd say you'd be fine with both, but the nod goes to LiquiMoly if you want a very quiet engine.
I use it in my MK4 1.8T. Tuned with 212K miles on original engine and turbo. Still going strong, no complaints.
Therefore, although I have used Mobil1 synthetic oil exclusively in all my vehicles for more than 30 yrs, and even though M1 0W40 is VW 502 approved, it is not the recommended viscosity, so I now use Liqui Moly Leichtlauf high tech 5W40.
My Good ol' Beast only gets Liqui Moly 5W-40. Has just 127k miles on it. it runs the best on it and is rev Happy too.
Leichtlauf every 5k for me with Certech added in every 30k.
i just use liquimoly leichtlauf. really can't go wrong with it.
Liquid Moly Molygen for me
I bought a 153K kilometer 81 1.6 GTI and drove it for work to military bases all over Germany. With no restrictions I ran 160-190 kph as much as possible for a few hours at a time. It always used a little oil but I kept it changed with 20W50 dino oil and sold it at 280K still running fine.
After NGP rebuilt it, I noticed they use Liqui-Moly everything. After I read up on it, I switched to LM exclusively.
