I use 5w30 ESP Mobil 1, has the 507 grade spec and gets on sale at Canadian tire pretty frequently
I have a 2015 golf tdi and have had good luck with Mobil 1 ESP.
I used to run 0W40 in Lexus IS250 (4GR-FSE engine) with great results, towards the end of it's life (maybe... the car was stolen at around 200k miles, so not sure when it actually died) it was burning little bit of oil when 5W30 was used. However, I have noticed that when I changed for 0W40, it has not burn any oil at all and oil was noticeably cleaner.
As long as the oil is VW 502 00 spec, it’s fine to use. I always go with either Mobil 0W-40 or 5W-40.
Mobil 1 Advanced in everything, with OEM filters... Use it in my Tucson, Mustang, Corvette, and Dodge pickup... Really, any quality full synthetic oil is fine.
I have a 2017 1500 5.7 that’s had nothing but Amsoil SS 0W-20. Purrs like a kitten. I have done multiple used oil analysis on all my family’s vehicles. They all use SS OW-20 and the analysis come back with very positive results. I will never use anything other than Amsoil.
At 156k after cam/lifter replaced I started doing DIY Amsoil changes. At 255k I put in a crate engine. If Amsoil made a difference it got the bottom half of the engine to 250k miles from 156k so about 13? oil changes. I think the cost difference is minimal so yes, I think it was worth it. Delaying $10k for new engine is the goal.
Been using Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic since I rolled it off the lot. Zero issues. I do my own changes every 3-5k. I did swap out to the FL400s filter to make it an even 6qts.
I used mobile one 0w40 but burned oil so I filled it up again idk might be cause of the heat or of course the motor which would be normal, but I usually aim at chaning the oil every 8k or half miles on my 2.0t TFSI engine and now I'm using 5w40 motul for my up coming oil change
i got a little valve clatter when i went to 0w40 on my next oil change i'll be using 5w40 (synthetic)
