Engine oil Mobil or Castrol
I have apr stg2 and i change my oil every 5k with mobil1 5w30 and it never burns a drop!
I have an 09 Jetta Sportwagen with a APR stage 1 ECU upgrade (since 2000 miles) and have 63,500 miles on the car. I have changed the oil every 10,000 and the oil is only down about 1/4 quart after 10,000 miles. I have done an oil analysis with Blackstone labs every oil change and the report comes back with the oil looks great and to extend the change to 11,000 miles! The report also shows my engine wearing betting than average.
mobil 1 5-40 diesel truck blend has it, just referenced my blackstone labs report after 6k miles was still over 1000
Over 50k big turbo miles on Mobil 1 10w 30 full synthetic. I love the oil, try some 10w 30 :thumbup:
Me...I'll stick to CASTROL EDGE 5w50...over a quarter of a million miles in an actual SCIROCCO.
I'm not really too sure about the weights, but I highly recommend using specially formulated euro blend oil. I believe that is 0W-40. I personally only use mobil 1 euro blend. It is expensive but your engine is not the place to get cheap.
I switched it to Mobile 1 high mileage, and no more smoke, and it now, I kid you not, burns less than 1qt/3-4k miles!
The engine with the new oil runs so smoothly, I can literally stand a coin on top of the intake manifold and the coin won’t fall.
I have a 2010 VW Jetta 2.5 with 48,000 miles todate. The dealer used Castrol and on the last change Valvoline. Now I'm doing my own oil changes etc. Currently using Mobil 0w-40. Since I've had the car the oil level drops so little on 10,000 changes that I can't measure it. The last oil change included 4,700 miles of hot Interstate driving. After it was changed I had the oil tested and basicly it had a lot of life left. Looks like the 2.5 is very easy on oils.
When we tested Mobil 1 on the racecars on the dyno Mobil 1 freed up 6-9 hp over other oils using the same Ford viscosity - 0w/20W.
