Mine went up to 223F, It usually hangs between 200 and 215, I'm running a Jb4 on map 2 +4 boost oil is liqui Moly 5w 30 toptec 4200
I run Liqui Moly 2044 Touring High Tech Diesel 15W-40 Motor Oil - 5 Liter Jug in mine since I bought it at 136k. Now at 164k and it purrs.
I went with Liqui Moly 2332 Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 which meets 502 spec. This. German-made. 502 spec. You can get a jug of the stuff on Amazon for a good price. Been using it for over a year now.
Even though Amsoil produced the lowest wear numbers I'm using ultra platinum since I find that is what my car runs best on, engine is quieter than with amsoil or Mobil and velvety smooth.
In our 2003 1.8T Passat, we use; Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic High Mileage 5w-30. Changed every 4000 miles. Because we made the change early, we have not had and engine oil sludge problem. The Passat now has 205k miles.
LiquiMoly Leichtlauf High Tech 5W40 Easy DIY kits sold online for ~$70 delivered including VW filter and drain plug, has a good reputation in the VAG community
I just did my first oil change at 1k miles. I went with Liqui Moly 2332 Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 which meets 502 spec.
I've been using the Liqui-Moly 5w-40 Leichtlauf High Tech since 2500 miles.
You want to know how your oil is doing? Send it to Blackstone labs for testing. Cost $35 but worth it in my opinion. I send my 8k oil (Liquy Moly, from my CC) and it was still very good!
This stuff is amazing, totally worth the extra money.
