Engine oil Mobil or AMSOIL
Mobil 1 extended oil. Full synthetic 5W30 changed every 12,000km. Mine burns about 1 litre (pint) per every 1,500-2,000km. So I top up a few times between full on oil changes
I use Mobil 1 full synthetic because I also use it for my car, and if you send you oil off to a lab after you change it, even at 3000 miles the oil was still in great shape.
Ran Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy for a while and it was fine, but lately I've switched over to the Toyota branded. It's more expensive, but I only change my oil once a year because I don't drive it much, and I like the higher molybdenum content in the Toyota stuff.
Amsoil is top tier oil and you can't go wrong with it.
I’m using Amsoil 0w-30 and am very pleased with it. Getting about 1 mpg better gas mileage and had the Amsoil lab analyzed after 3500 miles and numbers are better than what the factory oil showed. All added up, the Amsoil was better at protecting the engine.
The OE VW oil is Mobil 1 0W-20 ESP X2 with a zirconium marker and blue dye added for VW 508/509 requirements. The ESP X2 0W-20 is the only M1 product that meets the higher HTHS spec needed for VW 508/509. Its also API SP and has balanced chemistry for LSPI issues in other makes.
Mobil 1 5w-50 for the last few years.
I always used Mobil1 High Milage oil in my old truck before I sold it.
I run Mobil 1 in my bikes.
Mobil 1 - thins out a bit and there was quite a bit of consumption when I used this oil for my first change
