Just stick with Mobil 1 0w-40. It's VW-approved and covers just about all operating conditions. There's a reason it's factory-fill on Porsches and Mercedes AMG vehicles
My last Oil change was using 5w-30 conventional oil. Which is much different than the 5w-20 Syn that VW uses.
I'm running Amsoil in my 06 GTi and loving it. No trouble with that I can tell, I check dipstick every fillup occasionally have to add some but not a quart, not even .25 of a quart. I've got almost 72k on the clock I did my last oil change around 67500 maybe a little more, and oil is still clean. Car sounds no louder or different from oil dealer had put in it.
When I dumped my dealer Syntec 5w-40 for M1 0w-30 in Dec, it was night-and-day. Way lighter and better.
Just changed my oil in my '02 Camaro. It has the LS1 and just rolled over 150,000 miles. I use Mobil 1: 5w-30. It hasn't seen anything other than Mobil 1 so that's what I use haha.
Mobil 1 extended performance 5w-30. I don't drive many miles and I want the extra life of the oil in months. Plus Mobil 1 is factory fill on my LS2.
I ran Mobil 1 or German Castrol synth in my BMW (inline 6), and run Castrol GTX in my v8 truck.
I :heart: M1 0w-40
i run 5-40 amsoil in my VRT as well
I love the Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 for normal duty. It meets the latest 504.00/507.00 VW standards (newer than 502/505), and is specifically designed for diesel motors. Turbos are tough on oil, and diesel oils take prolonged periods of high heat much better.
