Liqui-Moly produce good oil in general, in my country all subaru enthusiasts use it for engines also!
I run Pennzoil Platinum in mine (same engine) which is another popular oil. 5w-30 btw.
I use Castrol or Pennzoil most of the time (N/A engine or I'd use Rotella) haven't had any issues with it.
Thanks sp_golf - went with liqui moly 10w60. it may be my imagination, but the motor seems to run a little smoother and it feels more responsive - but I have no #'s to prove any of that. What I can prove is my oil temps were definitely more manageable and I didn't burn nearly as much oil as the 5w40 I was using previously.
Liqui Moly for me all the way. It's made in Germany and their standards are second to none. We use their oil in our service department and in all of our own personal and show cars as well. Their oil test results are some of the best I've seen, I highly recommend using them.
i got even better results with Liqui Moly(better results then Euro M1); a much quieter engine on a 1998 Dodge SUV V8 and a 2001 BMW with a V8.
Leichtlauf is great, I've noticed smoother overall operation in my 2.0 TSI Jetta and GTI since changing from dealer Castrol.
I have been driving for upwards of 50 years and have always had good luck with Pennzoil products. Pennzoil makes a 5W-40 full synthetic Platinum Euro which meets the VW 502 spec and has gotten good reviews from GTI owners.
I'm running Pennzoil Ultra Euro L 5w30. It's a low saps oil that's vw 504/507 approved. However, because of the high sulphur in US fuels, you can't run this oil longer than 5k miles. A low saps/low volatility oil will greatly reduce intake valve deposits proven by lubrizol.
Run liquid moly. 5w40 at napa and its a really dependable oil
