Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or ROWE
I can confidently say this ‘leichtlauf’ oil really makes a difference. The engine feels healthy on cold starts, hot starts, hard acceleration, etc. Use this oil????????
after 1k of changing my oil I have to say the Liqui_moly remains pretty clear compared to when I used Castrol.
my consumption was terrible when running Castrol .... Now it's pretty decent .... Especially for winter time .... Liquimoly is ace.
It helped significantly! Went from burning Castrol to liquimoly which burns way less. Also I use a liquimoly sealer now and then to reduce consumption.
Liquimoly Leichlauf High Tech 5W-40 with OEM filter. VW 502.00 and 505.00 certification and no complaint here.
No warranty here (MKV), but i experienced a (significant) decrease in oil consumption, when switching from Motul, to MolyGen. YMMV.
I only ever use Liqui-moly and Mann filters on these cars. This past weekend, I cleaned the hell out of the interior.
I originally ran 10k intervals as recommended by VW. Early oil changes were done with Castrol Edge OE 5W-40(exact same type the dealership uses) Later on I thenswitched to Liqui Moly 5w40 Leichtlauf high tech and began running at 5K intervals after reading quite a bit about the 10k intervals being too long.
I only ran liqui moly in my TDI and have been running it in my R since I bought it. IMO they are one of the best brands.
The liquimoly additive, Oil Additiv p# 8352, did help me for a bit but now it's back to the usual oil guzzling. For my choice of engine oil I use 5W-40 Toptec 4100 liquimoly .... I think it reduced consumption somewhat over OEM castrol.
