I like this oil, I believe it was Castrol Syntec from the factory (says so on the oil cap) but it became slightly hard to find and the Liqui Moly has been great oil so whatever. I changed my oil last year at about 9500mi and it didn't even get dark until about 7k miles.
T6 Rotella 5w-40 when I run test pipes on tune, the heavy weight is great for keeping oil temps down and the zinc is awesome as a friction inhibitor but is terrible for cats so when I’m going to pass emissions I run Kirkland 5w-30 full synth on stock cats.
My B9.5 S5 went through a quart about 3000 miles into the last oil change. This oil change that im on now I havent had the light come on and im at about 5000 miles which is when I change oil. I started taking mine to an Indie shop and they use Liqui Moly oil plus they add this little bottle of addative thats supposed to help lubricate the piston rings better.
I run OW-30 Liqui moly that doesn’t burn any oil either.
I switched to liquimoly oil, mine uses a quart roughly every 3k miles but no issues.
I use Liqui Moly 5W-40 which is on the VAG 502 and 505 list.
Liquidmoly 5w40 is what I use in my 2019 Gti 2.0
LiquiMoly is great oil. They offer oils that meet brand specific certifications like BMW’s LL-01 or GM’s LL-A and LL-B. So they’re a great option for cars with specific requirements.
Liqui Moly is the only oil I use. 198,000 miles and still purrs like a kitten.
G60 Carat said: Speaking of Rotella, Here's a personal observation of mine. My beater Saturn 1.9 has a lifter tick (not fixing it, don't care), so I just put in Rotella T, and it quiets it up a bunch! But last oil change I just used the 20w50 I had on the shelf for the VW, since it's in pieces anyways. Despite the heavier oil, the lifter tick is louder with 20w50 that it was with 15w40 Diesel oil.
